For Booken, Raw Edges takes the bookcase concept and turns it on its side, so that the spines of the hanging volumes function as both a table top and a library. The work was recently presented at the Salone del Mobile 2013. |

My two girls (five and two) are learning to share. And it’s hard. I love it when I can show them that sharing is something that will enrich not only their lives, but those of others. And if I can add an ecological side to it, well, I’ll be damned. |

Spin/Unit Editions’ Herb Lubalin: American Graphic Designer—co-edited by Adrian Shaughnessy, Tony Brook and Alexander Tochilovsky—is an ambitious and beautifully executed graphic design monograph, and has quickly become one of the most cherished objects in my household. |

When you go to Jessica Hische’s site and click a project on the right, you’ll notice the URL does not say, for example, jessicahische.is/designing/nameofproject. (Where “nameofproject” is simply, duh, the name of the project.) Jessica, whose site has a quite badass Teen Girl Mode, gives every project a unique description in its URL. Why does this matter to this post? Because her book covers for the Barnes & Noble Classics project page URL is “thebestprojectever.” I envy Jessica having a single job in her portfolio stand out head and shoulders above the rest, enough to bestow the “bestprojectever” URL upon it. |

Full disclosure: KT Meaney is a colleague and a friend. I am also a big fan. The Book is Dead, Long Live the Book, an exhibit (held for one evening) at NC State University’s College of Design in the spring of 2010, is an apt example of why I admire her as a designer and educator. |
