“Process: 50 product designs from Concept to manufacture” by Jennifer Hudson
This book provides an in-depth study of the creative and manufacturing processes behind 50 contemporary domestic design objects. Chosen from all around the world, they span furniture, lighting, tableware, textiles and products. Featuring the work of both long-established and emerging designers, each product is selected for its significant use of new technology, unorthodox or complex production process, use of innovative materials (or traditional materials adapted in new and unexpected ways) and, in some cases, for the creative concept behind it.
£25, paperback, 240 pages 800 colour illustrations. ISBN - 9781856695411

I’m a huge fan of production processes. I never miss a chapter of ‘how it’s made’ on discovery science. even my two kids 3 and 6 year olds enjoy watching how things come to be. They’re there with me everytime I repair something and even help putting IKEA furniture together. It is probably a great book to extend the insights on how to get from ‘need’ to ’solution’ to ‘product’.
