"'It is the book's central essay by Deyan Sudjic that gets closest to what makes Pawson so compelling as a designer. Sudjic allies Pawson with a diverse group of self-taught designers, including Jean Prouve, Pierre Chareau, Tadao Ando and Craig Ellwood, all of whom had or have idiosyncratic styles and real personality. Pawson is best seen in this light - as someone pursuing an individual path whose rigour and commitment is unmistakable... a beautiful volume.' Modern Painters 'Characteristic of John Pawson's unique viewpoint on the junction of art and design, it also offers much wider insights into culture, society and architecture.' The Property Executive 'John Pawson's immaculate spaces are said to inspire religious awe, and this generously illustrated monograph adroitly recreates that impression... The book is a luscious introduction to a luxuriously empty world.' Azure"
