WHERE: Designers and Books


From William Morris to Frank Lloyd Wright to Edith Wharton, there has always been a particularly special and robust relationship between designers and books – reading them, writing them, designing around them, decorating with them… designersandbooks.com celebrates that relationship.

Designers & Books is devoted to publishing lists of books that esteemed members of the design community identify as personally important, meaningful and formative – books that have shaped their values, their worldview and their ideas about design.

It has been said that any book list is an invitation to begin a conversation (and sometimes an argument!). Designers & Books encourages comments, generates debate and facilitates discussions about the books that are posted each week. The site also includes a list of specialty bookshops, such as Rizzoli New York, that sell designers’ recommendations.
