i miss my pencil
i miss my pencil takes a voyeuristic look at the design journey to reveal what designers do daily, might get to do once, and sometimes only hope to do.

a documentary at heart, this book focuses on twelve experiments that explore the sensorial and experiential side of everyday objects, some we hold near and dear, so traditionally taken for granted. these explorations are made real through collaboration between designers (from IDEO Design) and experts of all kinds--a renegade physicist, a fusion chef, a whip-smart mistress, an artisanal mechanic, among others--to go beyond the conceptual to the curiously concrete. so, if you're interested in how to skateboard on eggshells, what your postman smells like, or a pen that thinks it's a suitcase, this is the book for you.

hardcover; 240 pages.
