Jens, a Norwegian furniture designer, recommends Rob Thompson’s “Manufacturing Processes”
Jens is staying at a youth hostel downtown. This is his first trip to the United States. His only other international travel has been to Sweden, Norway’s eastern neighbor. When he learned of our shared interest in product design, he urged me to buy Rob Thompson’s “Manufacturing Processes”. “It’s my bible,” he said. “Everytime I open it, I find a useful new tool, or a innovative practice that transforms my work.”
Soon after returning home, I put in an order on Amazon. The work should arrive by the end of the week. I’ll read the index, scan through it twice, then let it rest.
