Synopsis
Seetal Solanki is a designer, researcher, curator and, of course, author, who is one of the world’s leading experts on cutting edge materials.
According to the author, this book ‘aims to provide the tools not only to understand how material choices are intimately tied to our planet’s present and future health, but also where the materials come from, who the people creating them are, what the materials are made of and how they can be used’. To our minds, it succeeds on every level.
