Alfredo Haberli, who was born in Buenos Aires in 1964 and has been working from Zurich since the 1980s, is one of the world's most widely acclaimed product designers. Major international brands such as BMW, Camper, Georg Jensen, Iittala, Luceplan, Moroso, Schiffini, or Vitra are among his clients, for whom he has designed furniture, lamps, objects, tableware, or even entire interiors. Haberli's work has been shown in numerous exhibitions throughout Europe and has earned him many awards over the years.

In the first of this book's two volumes, Haberli looks back at the people, places, and objects that have influenced him and shaped his ideas and creative process. He tells of his visits with the great Italian designers, the British and American role models influencing him, and about inspiring exchanges with colleagues such as Konstantin Grcic, Jasper Morrison, or Patricia Urquiola. Moreover, his encounters with visionary entrepreneurs, and the places, locations, and objects that forged his understanding of design come into focus through text and images.

For the second volume, Haberli invited 30 personalities from his circle to ask him one question each, which he answers frankly and in good humour. These personalities include fellow designers, architects, critics, journalists, and creative directors such as Stephen Bayley, Tyler Brule, Francesca Molteni, and Alice Rawsthorn.
