Richard Ball and Peter Campbell commissioned a group of artists and furniture makers to produce three-dimensional interpretations of pieces appearing in iconic works of art. They interviewed the designers at each stage of the process, discussing the creative problems, and their solutions. The result is a book which not only explains precisely how the amateur can recreate these master pieces, but also reveals and charts the creative instinct at work.
