Mutant Materials in Contemporary Design highlights the evolution in the design of materials that have revolutionized the culture of design—and material culture at large—in the past decade. Materials can be designed, and new techniques can customize, extend, and modify their physical properties. Ceramics and fiber compounds can be alternatives to metals, wood can be as soft as upholstery, and plastics can be made as translucent as glass or as hard as stone. Mutant materials are opening up new worlds of possibilities for designers and manufacturers.
Each copy of the book has a unique resin cover that was designed by Gaetano Pesce.
