Der er et herk å gå på jobb. Spesielt om man bor i et land hvor man må kaste seg over brøytekanter før sola har kommet seg horisonten, hvor snørret fryser til is, og hvor veiene er tette og bussene er fulle, akkurat når du skal komme deg på jobb. Hjemmekontor er løsningen på mye av dette problemet. Hjemmekontor på en tropeøy kurerer helheten av problemet, spesielt der hvor utepilsen koster rundt 20 kroner.
PERFECT LIKENESS →
This sophisticated book about photography was published on the occasion of the exhibition under the same title, organized and presented by the Hammer Museum in Los Angeles between 20 June and 13 September 2015.

BOOK TABLE →
When visiting the Design Museum in Ghent a couple of weeks ago, I came across a very interesting piece of furniture. Typically for
a book lover I love floor-to-ceiling bookcases packed with numerous volumes. However, I had never thought about having a desk made of books … until I saw Richard Hutten’s design. You will love it, too.
THE WATCH BOOK →

PHILOGRAPHICS →
‘Philographics’ by Genis Carreras and published by BIS is one of the most ingenious books I have ever seen! ‘Big ideas in simple shapes’ means stunning graphics and ‘to the point’ contents. This fascinating visual dictionary of philosophy was such a success that we not only enjoy its 2nd edition but also a special postcard book with 24 most popular isms and images from the book.
