‘Most arrangements are little noticed, yet some stop you in your tracks’. Originally published in 2003, the book became an instant classic and is much sought-after. It uses rhetorical language to portray visual arrangement as a ‘communicational act: its own language-like form of aesthetic expression’.

Koren' text is complemented by 23 idiosyncratic paintings by Nathalie du Pasquier, which illustrate and emphasize the welcoming tone of the book. Arranging Things is not merely a popular book on design; it is a landmark text, a practical manifesto of aesthetic beauty, one for brightening and broadening the way we understand and arrange our worlds.
