"This volume presents Diego Giacometti's oeuvre almost in its entirety and offers many heretofore unpublished insights into his life and work. From his childhood in a small village in Switzerland, through his adolescent wanderings, his collaborative efforts with his brother in Paris, and his coming-of-age as a furniture-maker and sculptor, all the way up to the pinnacle of his career - his last and greatest commission, the furniture and lighting fixtures for the Musée Picasso in Paris - Diego's intellectual and technical developments are probed in this book.
