An illustrated book presenting a description of industrial designer Gijs Bakker, all his designs from the years 1961-2000. Gijs Bakker belongs to the select group of Dutch designers who have risen to international importance. His work is considered as exemplary of the rebelliousness of Dutch design: avant-garde and minimal. However it is his jewellery designs that made him notorious.
Well known for his jewellery design, this collection of Bakker's industrial, interior and exhibition-stand designs has been less conspicuous - as has his founding role in the Dutch 'Droog Design' phenomenon. This publication successfully argues that Bakkers other work is no less innovative, striking and functional for being excluded from the limelight. His chairs, temporary buildings, bike racks, travel bags, lamps, restaurant interiors, candle holders and pens are documented here with running commentary by Ida van Zijl. Includes an unusual dust jacket.
