‘Not for nothing are Maxine Naylor and Ralph Ball widely regarded as among Britain’s most thoughtful furniture designers. They have been building up to this book for a long time, slowly and carefully generating the intellectual impetus to carry their study of the meaning of objects into the territory where design meets art. Practical philosophy could be one way to describe their approach.’
