Wow, designed by Elding Oscarson, the interior walls of this graphic design office in Stockholm are made up of literally thousands of magazines. And this magazine-chair would fit there very good. Via/Via

The iPad is out - and now? Nice reflection from Mercedes Bunz: “Why was everybody talking about a gadget that basically does the same things as your computer, some of them maybe with a little twist? Yes, that is the most interesting thing about the iPad, the fact that the whole world was getting crazy about it, even before it was shipped. Is it magic, as Steve Jobs suggested? No. Let us have a guess: The iPad reflects a change that happened in the last decade. Before we digitalised information, now we need to digitise situations. Here, the iPad is just the beginning. There is more to come. Therefore the iPad doesn’t change a thing, it just reflects precisely what already has changed. Who wants to sit at a desk to watch some YouTube videos or read the papers? The iPad is about a situation. It is lovely, and hangs out with you. Sounds perfect to me. This is obviously the change that Apple understood: It is not anymore just communication that is affected by digitalisation, but situations. And we don’t want to go to our desk to initiate them. Digitalisation disseminated from the PC to the laptop to become even more mobile – a companion in whatever we do.” And the video: “Popular Science + is the first digital magazine to emerge from Bonnier’s Mag+, an ongoing project across all Bonnier titles in the U.S. and Europe to rethink the way magazines can be read on a new generation of full-color, touchscreen tablet devices.” Via

Wow – the first rainbow magazine/book: Rainbow in Your Hand. Via

The artist Volker Troche just wrote us about his wonderful project: Every day he presents on his website www.kurzeschatten.de a new page from his books: “Ich betreibe seit november letzten jahres eine eigene seite im netz, auf der jeden tag eine neue seite aus meinen büchern zu sehen ist. vielleicht gefallen sie und ihr könnt meine seiten bei euch vorstellen. ich würde mich sehr freuen.” Via: Mail, thanks!

Great, that’s what i call a massive cover: “Xylobooks are handmade blank books bound in hardwoods using a binding we invented here at the shop. They were designed to marry traditional bookbinding methods with a clean, modern aesthetic that emphasizes the tactile nature of the materials and the connection between wood and paper. High-quality, recycled archival paper, cotton twill tape, and tiny iron nails create a sturdy, simple object.” Via

The opening of our new showroom in Hamburg was a huge success: We had more than 250 people coming - and even some people could not enter the gallery because it was too crowded. So guys: Print is not dead! Thanks for the great video to Gebrauchsgrafikundso and Max from Zeitraffer. And there is more to come: Meet us in Hamburg at this next lectures (or every saturday from 14-17 o’clock):
