An essential sourcebook - Tools for Living is a book all about ‘ultimates’ – the ultimate things designed for the home – from chef knives and pots and pans, to door handles and bathroom taps, to home office furniture and garden tools. Well-designed objects not only have superior performance but also look better and last longer, which ultimately means that they are more sustainable and provide better value for money. They also give the user a satisfying sense of reliability – they are the household tools that we use on a daily basis, which enhance life. Many of the objects included in Tools for Living are famous design classics, which are still in production. This comprehensive sourcebook features them beautifully, with full descriptions of their historic relevance and design excellence.
