James Irvine cover

A complete monograph on the work of the influential British-born, Milan-based furniture and product designer James Irvine (1958-2013).

James Irvine is an intimate look into the work and life of a design legend. Previously unpublished drawings, sketches, models and images from Irvine's archives and personal anecdotes and texts from the designers who worked directly with him, including Jasper Morrison, Marc Newson, Konstantin Grcic and Naoto Fukasawa, reveal Irvine's passions, interests and idiosyncracies like never before.
