so-soOn the one hand: a nice little book that narrates to origin of mid century Danish design's popularity in the US and across the world through through the lense of two chair designs. On the other, the size (smol, not coffee table) and length (short, not a standard non fiction book) makes me wander where it fits outside of museum gift stores. I'd prefer more and larger pictures or more in-depth text (also not 100% on the translation of some terms.)

pickStarted it in Jan 2023, Finished in Feb 2024 and in between read like 1800 pages and different novels. Overall it's a book that should be read by every architect, software engineer, tester, designer, ui ux specialist.
I did a thing. I ventured out this weekend to see my daughter in Providence. We went to the Athenæum and then to Aleppo Sweets for some Arabic coffee with cardamom and of course some baklava. The Athenæum had a sale so I got 6 books for less than $10!!! No anxiety. It was lovely.
#NewYearNewBooks #CoffeTableBk one of my all time favorites that I have had for years . I don‘t have a coffee table either!😄
pickI finally finished this one but I‘ll definitely be coming back to it again and again. It‘s probably my favorite design book so far as it connects two of my passions: (obviously) design and stories. There were so many books and articles referenced that my TBR list just got bigger, and there were countless practice exercises and prompts to get the creative juices flowing. I‘m excited to give them a try! Continued in comments ⬇️
pickIf you only read one book on feed sacks and their place in the history of American fashion, sustainability, the garment trade vs. domestic sewing, etc., this should be that book.
The volume is printed with full color photography throughout with hundreds of prints, labels/logos, and historical illustrations/photography from periodicals and flyers about reuse of the sacks in various applications. Highly recommend!
#Pantone2023 card too for last year, it‘s also not finished… oops 😂…. I blame way to much Zelda this past year! @Clwojick
“…our gaze is drawn to points of intrigue, from a dark hole in the middle of the road to a black cat lurking in the shadows. Humans instinctively look for novelty and surprise, because any shift in what we see could be a source of danger or delight.”
