Kaffe Fassett (b. 1937) is one of the most recognized names in contemporary craft and design, with work encompassing knitting, needlepoint, quilting, textile design, mosaic, painting, and drawing. Fassett’s sense of colour and pattern has inspired makers around the world; his early successes include knitwear designs for fashion designers such as Bill Gibb and Missoni, and in more recent years he has collaborated with the luxury fashion house Coach. His inimitable eye can translate the most everyday of details into the basis for one of his colourful, sophisticated, maximalist designs.

This book explores Fassett’s career and work in context for the first time, highlighting and widening the scope of his output over more than five decades.
