This well presented, insightful and inspiring book (aimed at designers of all types) is both a timely and a highly valuable addition to the literature on the important and rapidly evolving technological area of s art te tiles. Published earlier this year Smart Textiles for Designers has numerous colour photos to accompany the text and anyone interested in textiles or technology development will surely find it fascinating to read or to simply just browse through.The book seeks to inspire readers by presenting visually appealing examples and describing a captivating variety of techno textiles and it does this very well. The scene is set with an interview with Melissa Coleman who rightly identifies the importance of smart textiles and their capacity to spark the i agi atio of hat ight e possi le i the future. The materials introduced are intended to challenge the reader so that their ideas of what fabrics and textiles are can truly be expanded–the book is envisioned as a source of stimulation for designers so that they may rethink what clothing, as well as other textiles-based products, can do. Some of these materials will be new to many textile designers, for example graphene, smart foams and other non-woven materials produced in novel ways such as by 3-dimensional printing.
