By Hand

In a response to the sleek forms and perfect angles of late 1990s objects, many of today's designers and artists are returning to handmade work. From books to pillows to T-shirts to toys, their work defines an alternative view of contemporary design, featuring unique qualities antithetical to mass production. From Jennifer Lew's irreverent handmade felt pieces to Dynamo-ville's one-of-a-kind puppets to the hand-bound and hand-stitched publications of Evil Twin, it is obvious that these objects have been made with care and consideration.By Hand features an international collection of the most noteworthy artists and shows their work through detailed photography and insightful interviews.
