The Dream Factory: Alessi since 1921

Rating:
Summary: Like most Alessi designs - simple and functional
Review: A light, compact tome that provides a decent cursory overview of the aesthetic arc of this legendary Italian design house. Book itself is nicely laid out, illustrated and printed on excellent stock. A great start point for newcomers to the field in learning more about key designers and products launched and fielded by Alessi. On the downside though, this book lacks depth and could've used better 'copy' to provide for a more interesting read.

Summary: a good summary of Alessi
Review: Whilst this book is by no mean concise, it does give the readers a general overview of Alessi, its maestros, its philosophy & so forth. It's such an enjoyable & simple book to read. If the readers want to have an in-depth knowledge of Alessi's product lines, & so forth, perhaps, Alessi: The Design Factor is a better option.
