HOPE

Hope is the third issue of the Surface series. Spanning 336 pages, ‘Hope’ showcases creative professionals whose work combines sustainability and diversity with aesthetics and good taste. The beautifully designed book brings together people from a wide range of sectors who all inspire hope – from architects and designers to artists, chefs, inventors, photographers, engineers, producers and graphic designers. All of these people believe that their actions can bring about change and have poured their energy and innovativeness into developing products and projects which make the world a better place.

The book also includes large photo features presenting sensitively designed wind turbines from a project by students at ECAL in Lausanne, Paper House by Thomas Demand and Caruso St John, Liljewall’s stunning education architecture in Sweden, vegan Michelin-starred chef Zizi Hattab and the fashion label Martan, which makes clothing out of hotels’ waste textiles. Jewellery designer Alec Doherty, painter Logan T. Sibrel and photographer Laurence Kubski all examine different aspects of diversity. Last but not least, ‘Hope’ considers what impact AI will have on design, and the Curator’s Pick presents extraordinary products that take an original approach to the need for consumers to prioritise sustainability.
