me studio

my copy finally arrived in the mail yesterday… and it wasn’t a disappointment, i am not a huge fan of the early years of seminal dutch design agency ‘total design’ to be honest, at least nowhere the levels of hero-worship they seem to be receiving at the moment, the latest book from UK niche-publisher ‘unit editions’ is however really well made and presents the information in a clear and ordered fashion (designed by the excellent ‘spin’)

i’ll post a longer review when i’ve had time to look at (and read) the book in depth, i also came a across an old picture of the studio staff, showing my dear old colleague (now sadly deceased) mister ‘ritzo bloem’ sporting a trendy early-70’s goatee, we miss you ritzo x
