New design mecca.
The PR blurb says it best, "Brooklyn is booming, and it is now home to some of the world's most radical design talent. Brooklyn: New Style provides an insider's look at these cutting-edge designers-in graphics, fashion, furniture, architecture, and other fields-who came to the area in search of space, artistic freedom, places to exhibit their work, and fellow artists with whom to collaborate. Priced out of Manhattan by high rents and exorbitant living costs, these young innovators settled in unexpected, out-of-the way neighborhoods like Williamsburg, Dumbo, Fort Greene, and Bushwick, moving Brooklyn to creative center stage in the process.". Featuring projects by Julian Lwin, Fischer Spooner, Graphic Havoc (designers of the Archinect T-shirt), Freecell, Hunter Gatherer, Barnstormers, and 30 other designers. Hardcover, 240 pages, 350 images, $28.35 at Amazon.
