Features: The Island of Creation collects works from 25 different design categories in the contemporary UK design scene—from architecture, engineering to fashion and jewelry; from new media, window displays to theater and graphic design, etc. The breadth of fields covered, the richness of works, and the high quality are undeniable. It showcases over 100 recent projects, highlighting their design concepts and the visual representations of unrealized works. Each piece tells the creator's story of innovation in its own unique language. Through these themes, John Sorrell explores the relationships between different projects and the "greenhouse effect" produced by the intermingling of various design disciplines. In his view, this is precisely the value of current explorations in seeking inspiration for British design. Contains 300 illustrations, with 250 in color.
