Catherine Winkler Rayroud, award winning papercutter in her personal site "Jean-Charles Trebbi is back with another inspirational design odyssey. The subject this time is - literally - cutting-edge design. The book is an all-singing, all-dancing exploration of cutting-based form and function - the tools and techniques used to cut a variety of materials, plus examples of artisan-designed end products. Taken with his other Promopress titles, The Art of Pop-Up, and The Art of Folding, it looks like M. Trebbi is working towards a design theory of everything."
