Review by: Designer magazine
"Regular readers of our Notebook section will know that here at Designer, we're partial to the odd bit of crazy design. There's nothing like some wacky pendant light made from bottles or a boat-shaped bath to stretch the creative imagination. This guide to such frivolities is a fun tour of some of the more unusual aspects of design - some practical, some very much straddling the design/art border in which aesthetics have superceded practicality. Not surprisingly, Marcel Wanders features, as do a number of our favourite items from Notebook over the years - the aforementioned boat bath in particular. How much of this stuff you would actually want in your home is perhaps open to question, but nonetheless, for anyone excited by creative experimentation, this collection of leftfield projects is irresistible."
