Reviews
'Heatherwick is a tough act to imitate, let alone follow, leaving one of Britain’s brightest - and still youngest - design talents with the world at his feet'
Wallpaper*
'Heatherwick is remarkable in his tenacity, his sense of adventure and his absolute delight in finding solutions. And the results often have a uniquely accessible and playful appeal'
Financial Times
'Reads almost like a series of scientific experiments... takes the reader on an expansive tour of seemingly every possible material used at all available scales...[demonstrates] Heatherwick’s urge to operate right at the edge of what is possible with any given amount of time, space and resources'
