Jewelry designer Lisa Jenks: Lisa Jenks (New York)
Profile   Book List
The work of jewelry designer Lisa Jenks is prized for its originality, drama, and tactility. She is known especially for being finely attuned to the materials she works with, particularly sterling silver, in a way that allows physical characteristics to communicate cultural allusions. Her aesthetic influences range from angular forms in urban architecture to glyphs on the Mayan pyramids in Uxmal.

To kick off spring, Designers & Books is posting its first compilation of Notable Design Books of 2013. We invited a group of esteemed design community members—our Book Board—to select titles published in 2013 that they think are particularly worth noting.

To celebrate the publication of our 100th designer on Designers & Books this past Tuesday, April 3—we now have double the number of designers we started with a year ago—we bring you a new milestone list.
