About the Book

50 of the world s most exciting designers and visionary artists have devised simple objects that anyone can make at home. Do It Yourself collects 50 simple, beautiful projects by the world's best designers and artists. From lamps and tables to toys and chairs, all items can be constructed using basic tools and everyday items, making designer classics from the everyday. Each project is illustrated with full color photographs of the finished piece and all tools and materials required to make it, in addition to hand-drawn illustrations for the step-by-step instructions. Text for each object describes the design concept and gives a bio for the designer plus the price of materials and time to complete. The book features designers and artists from all over the globe and from a variety of disciplines, including Konstantin Grcic, Rafael Horzon, Hella Jongerius, Sarah Sze, and Ai Weiwei. This book offers readers affordable access to world-class design as well as hours of fun and will inspire young designers for years to come.

Review :
"This new book seeks to redefine DIY for the flat-pack generation. With the intention to inspire, the clear instructions and hand-drawn illustrations make it wonderfully easy to assemble items like this Flying Shelf by Matteo Thun." —Absolutely City & Angel "Ever wanted to actually use the drill your aunt bought you three Christmases ago? Try one of these 50 DIY builds from the world's most lauded artists and designers... Mercifully, they're all straightforward, and each project includes hand-drawn step-by-step illustrations, a list of tools you'll need and the necessary materials. Time to break the cellophane." —GQ online "Stylish collection of playful and practical projects." —House & Garden "A highly gift-table book for tinkerers, makers, aspiring industrial designers and expert IKEA furniture assemblers... The designs... are handsome, functional and, most importantly, put together by hand." —Mother Nature Network "aims to elevate DIY from the drudgery of everyday domestic construction and repairs to a creative expression of an art and style" —New Design "the biggest stars on the international design scene to create a piece of furniture that can be replicated by anyone with a keen eye and basic toolkit" —The Sunday Telegraph "If you've been carrying a torch for a great design piece... [this] new book may help fulfill that unrequited love... fun, often quirky projects" —ArchitecturalDigest.com "Beautiful pictures, clear instructions, and elegant design." —Quartz "[A] smart take on the pervasive DIY trend in an increasingly design-conscious world that will give your self-made project a galvanizing back story." —Slate.com "Something of a provocation, challenging us to look beyond the branding and see everyday objects in a whole new light... This is a book about emotional connections to objects, and how the act of alteration or interaction with a thing – however minor – can increase its lifespan and enhance our day-to-day lives."—wallpaper.com "Designers creations you can make by yourself, isn’t it the height of chic? In his book Do It Yourself to be published in October in France, the german journalist Thomas Barnthaler show 50 of those unique pieces."—Grazia France "We don’t often include 'how to' books here, but this one is a little bit different, inviting contemporary designers and artists from Konstantin Grcic and Ai Weiwei to create their own DIY projects."—Crafts "In typically gorgeous Phaidon style, 50 visual designers and artists have pulled together a proper syllabus of simple, sophisticated DIY art and design projects. " —LA Weekly
