PERHAPS A GIFT VOUCHER FOR MUM?: MOTHER'S DAY
In the 1970s, Terence Conran plucked Stephen Bayley from the obscurity of provincial academe to do his good works. One result was The Boilerhouse Project, promoting design in London's V&A, which became the most successful gallery of the eighties. Another result was the influential Design Museum. Stephen has since become one of the world's best-known commentators on design and popular culture.
A fiercely witty polemic . . . Amusing, erudite, insightful * Daily Mail * Witty, astringent primer for life . . . Bayley is a dazzling writer, by turns elegant, iconoclastic and wickedly subversive, and with a style and panache that rivals his favourite household objects -- Michael Simkins * Mail on Sunday * The joy (and depth) of this book is how Bayley has come to appreciate the spiritual value of things big and small -- Roger Lewis * Telegraph *
