Design in the 21st Century has liberated itself from industrial conditions and the associated physical demands. With new technology, expanded choice of materials and the practice of luxurious craftsmanship, designers are embracing design with scintillating attitude, challenging aesthetic boundaries and speculating new expressions in visual codes.
Desire documents current developments in furniture and object design today, showcasing recent work by the most exciting and influential designers from around the globe categorised into four distinct trends and groups: Modernists, Taletellers, Inventors and Entertainers.

21世紀のデザインは、工業的制約やそれに伴う物質的必要性から解放されてきた。新たなテクノロジー、拡張された物質の選択肢やぜいたくなクラフトマンシップの実用によって、デザイナーは機知あふれる心構えでデザインに取り組んだり、美の極限へ挑戦したり、視覚的原則における新しい表現を模索する。
本書『Desire』は、現在における家具の発達や今日のオブジェデザイン、世界の最も刺激的で影響力のあるデザイナーたちの最近作を収録する。これらをModernist (モダニスト)、Taletellers (語り手)、Inventors (発明者)、Entertainer(エンターテイナー)の4つのトレンドやグループに分類した。
