In The Press

'For the minimalist in your life, this would be the perfect present: a book that is as refined, precise and elegant as the buildings it describes.' (LA Architect)

'John Pawson Works (Phaidon, $59.95) is not your ordinary monograph, thanks to lively prose by Deyan Sudjikl, the editor of Domus, the Italian design magazine.' (Julie Iovine, The New York Times)
