First edition, 2003, published jointly by Les Éditions de l'Amateur and Galerie L'Arc en Seine. Bilingual French/English text, extensively illustrated in color throughout, surveying Diego's celebrated bronze furniture and objects — tables, consoles, lamps, andirons, and his signature menagerie of birds, dogs, and other animals rendered in patinated and gilt bronze — alongside works by Alberto Giacometti made in collaboration with Diego.
