This new book provides much-needed information on the raw materials, and the 'low-down' on what these materials can be used for. <p/>The information provided in the book allows professional designers and students from a range of disciplines - but focusing on product design - to understand in simple, exciting, thought-provoking, visual terms different qualities and features of materials. The subject is presented from the perspective of design, and relevant case studies are used to inspire designers into new ways of thinking about materials. As well as standard and widely available materials, the book also contains emerging materials such as smart materials and self-healing plastics, offering a comprehensive guide to material selection for designers.<p/><br></br><p><b> About the Author </b></p></br></br>Chris Lefteri is Senior Lecturer in Product Design at Central Saint Martins College of Art and Design, London. He also runs his own packaging, furniture and product-design business in London. His previous books include five titles in the Materials for Inspirational Design series covering Plastic, Wood, Glass, Metals, and Ceramics.
