Rizzoli has published a new monograph by photographer Simon Upton, organized alphabetically and built as a comprehensive survey of design. The format reads like a color-saturated reference, less a book to move through front to back than one to keep within reach and open anywhere. For collectors building out a design library, whether in Palm Beach or the Hamptons, it is the kind of volume made to be consulted, not just displayed.
