Free Book Give-Away...Design Duo Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby

British designers, Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby, have brought together their diverse and exciting designs into a collector’s book: The Design Work of Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby.    

The design duo has wide roots in design – Barber studied interior design and Osgerby furniture and industrial design in undergrad. They both finished their graduate work in architecture from the Royal College of Art in London and quickly became immersed in the design of furniture and accessories. 

Starting with their first success, the Loop Table (see photo above), Barber and Osgerby recount the origins of their designs and the development from idea to manufactured product. The book traces by theme the inspiration behind each of their successful designs. Included are preliminary sketches, models, and snapshots of works in progress. Many of their furniture and product designs have subsequently been produced by international companies such as Cappellini, Vitra, and Sony. 

The Design Work of Edward Barber and Jay Osgerby is published by Rizzoli and will be released on April 19^th, 2011.

Barber and Osgerbys designs has been a great inspiration for me and my design work. The fun thing is that my old man went to the Royal College of Art in London with Barber. It's fun to see how others have also been inspired by their work and copied it, just look at the newer IKEA designs.

I live in Denmark but hope I can get hold of my own copy of the book :-)

Keep the good design alive!

My favorite piece of furniture design is the Wassily chair, designed by Marcel Breuer, because it was so revolutionary in the 20's and can still be used in contemporary design today, almost 100 years later
