Everything is Connected

In this book, the Swiss design house Vitra explores one of the fundamental principles of theoretical physics: the concept of causality, or the “theory of everything.” Also explored by philosophers such as Plato and Hegel, Vitra now expands on this concept through its world of design and distills it into this book. An introductory quote from the iconic designer Charles Eames welcomes us into the world of Vitra,

“Eventually, everything connects—people, ideas, objects… the quality of the connections is the key to quality itself.”

In a world made up of everyday scenes that can go unnoticed, this book—composed almost entirely of photographs—invites us to notice those details and to explore the daily interactions between people and the environment in which they live their lives.

These are close, intimate, and direct relationships with design objects—chairs, tables, spaces, and so on. A deep, functional, and often unnoticed relationship. Each photograph is conceived to create a narrative structure, a common thread that guides the viewer forward.

Color, shapes, patterns—in *Everything is Connected*, we also see portraits, sketches, and snapshots. We witness the evolution of masterful works and the evolution of humanity itself. A book to be admired and held, it can become an immersive journey into design.
