At more than 400 pages, this catalogue of the amazing contemporary glass collection of the MUDAC, or Museum of Contemporary Design and Applied Arts in Lausanne, Switzerland, features work by 310 artists from the 1960s until today. There are figures, vases, abstract sculptural works and everything in between, with objects as small as just a few inches high or as tall as a gallery ceiling. Materials range far beyond glass to include stainless steel, gold, slate, enamel and rust, among many others. And the list of artists is surprising. Of course there are contemporary masters like Dale Chihuly, Gaetano Pesce, Paul Seide, Frantisek Vizner and Toots Zynsky, but there are also contributions from the likes of Max Ernst, Pablo Picasso and John Cage, with surprise entries from top contemporary artists like Mathieu Mercier, Tobias Rehberger and Rirkrit Tiravanija.

From Le Corbusier to the Helvetica font, Switzerland has produced some of the most influential product and graphic design of the twentieth century. This sleek volume collects the best examples spanning from the early twentieth century (tiny slippers with pom-poms attached, made for little girls in the 1930s) to 2007 (Peter Müller's most recent avant garde fashion collection). One chapter is devoted to things that are "Small and Beautiful," like a 1926 pocket watch by Movado or the 2006 MX Revolution Logitech computer mouse, while others collect "Tiny Helpers" like the series of Swiss bank notes produced in 1997. In "Up to the Mountains" we find snowboards, chalets, avalanche dogs and other high-design rescue equipment, and in "The Longsellers," we get to classics like the Swiss army knife, an iconic vegetable peeler and Le Corbusier's famous LC1 1928 armchair. An extremely sexy book packed with great visuals and truly pertinent information.
