In May Phaidon Press will release & Fork, a book featuring 100 of the industrial design profession's soon-to-be illuminaries, as selected by the likes of ID Magazine's Julie Lasky, the Seoul Arts Center's Sang-kyu Kim, Habitat's Tom Dixon, and Domus' Francesca Picchi.

The book's odd title makes sense once you realize it's supposed to be the companion piece to Spoon, an earlier title released by Phaidon that also spotlit 100 designers, among them Jonathan Ive and Marc Newson. If the naming convention continues we will presumably see future iterations called Knife, Salad Fork, and perhaps Chopsticks.

& Fork will be going for about US $70 when it comes out, but Amazon's got it for around $42; used copies of Spoon, published in 2002, are going for as little as $14!
