Average Customer Ratings:
The Eco-Design Handbook is the first book to present the best-designed objects for every aspect of the home and office, including the most environmentally sound materials and building products. Some of these pieces have already become classics, others have been uncovered from far-away places or difficult-to-find one-person studios. The book contains three essential components. An introduction puts forward the history and latest thinking in green design strategies. Its core comprises two sections devoted to detailed illustrated descriptions of objects for domestic living and products for the office or work-related activities. The third element is a vast reference source, defining available materials, from organic to specially developed eco-sensitive composites and then providing detailed information on manufacturers, design studios, green organizations, online information, as well as further reading and a glossary of useful terms and concepts. Lastly, a comprehensive index makes it possible for the reader to find any product, designer or manufacturer instantly. This is a complete resource, equally invaluable for the broad consumer market and for design professionals.

CUSTOMER REVIEWS:
Great Little Coffee Table Book -
Full of great inspiration and ideas for a professional designer and casual reader alike, this little book is a must-have addition for anyone interested in alternative design, architecture, or furniture. It is full of pictures and short descriptions of each item, making it perfect for flipping through in your spare time. It reads almost like an in-depth catalogue, but with the integrity (and lack of ads) that comes with being a book. The designs are fantastic, even if they werent eco-friendly. Great book for those who prefer reading tid-bits after seeing a picture they like rather than reading page after page. GREAT IDEAS!
