COLORS BOOKS is a series that expands on the tradition which began with COLORS magazine over ten years ago. Beginning with the best-seller, 1000 Extra/ordinary Objects, to the upcoming Yellow Pages, the COLORS network of correspondents and photographers brings you a view of global culture today.
1000 EXTRA/ORDINARY OBJECTS
Things, objects, stuff, trinkets, tools, materials, gadgets, the things we use, abuse, throw away, cherish, depend on: these are the things we own, simple objects for our everyday lives. They may or may not hold special meaning to us, but their importance, as objects of cultural identity, is unmistakable.
TASCHEN's 25th anniversary – Special edition! “It's a visual feast of truly weird and wonderful objects from around the world.” – Sunday Express, London
