In Things Come Apart, fifty design classics--arranged by size and intricacy--are beautifully displayed, piece by piece, exploding in midair and dissected in real-time, frame-by-frame video stills. Welcome to Todd McLellan's unique photographic vision of the material world.

The new paperback edition of the best selling Things Come Apart comes equipped with a fresh, design-savvy package, and includes five new projects that reveal the inner workings of some of the world's most iconic designs. From SLR camera to mantle clock to espresso machine, from iPad to bicycle to grand piano, every single component of each object is made visible. In addition to showcasing the quality and elegance of older designs, these disassembled objects show that even the most intricate modern technologies can be broken down and understood. Stunning photography is interspersed with essays by notable figures from the world of restoration, DIY, and design innovation, who discuss historical examples of teardowns, disassembly, and reverse engineering.

Things Come Apart conjures the childlike joy of taking something apart to see how it works, and will appeal to anyone with a curiosity about the material world.

Snazzy shirt
Size: Large, Color: Black
Fits great & looks wonderful. Can be worn casually or for work. Very wrinkly, just toss it in the dryer and they will come right out. It's lightweight & cool.

Great shirts have to iron first
Size: XX-Large Tall, Color: Black
They feel great the material, they’re thin, the style looks good, the length to and below my waist is good. For the cost they’re good shirts and they’re definitely loose fitting, however they shove them in a tight bag so if you plan on wearing this straight away from delivery day make sure you have an iron ready every single collar and I ordered over 7 shirts comes folded over. Took a star away for the fact they don’t pack them how you would find a higher price shirt packed and typically wear ready.

Simple and nice.
Size: 4X-Large, Color: Dark Grey
Nice shirt. Light weight. It’s true to size and skin friendly because it is cotton.

Perfect!
Size: Large, Color: Beige
Cool, comfortable, with a little stretch. Comes out of the dryer wrinkle free (be sure to hang it up right after you take it out of the dryer) price was reasonable. I measured my husband's neck and it fit exactly as it should. Good length to the back of it too, which is sometimes a problem for my husband. Do not see any quality issues. Not excessively thin or too thick. Really, I can't think of any way to improve on this shirt.

Nice and light with superior softness!
Size: Large, Color: Black
Nice soft material and fits well. I also like the lightweight feel. Will most likely buy other colors in this item.
