The incredible design / production house Imaginary Forces, created this little video a while back for Paul Rand’s posthumous introduction into The One Club’s Hall of Fame . I don’t why it took me so long to find out about this video. Watch it here.
I posted a link to this yesterday on our note cards section, but after a second look, decided that it deserved a full entry. ”Dare To Be Square” is a new book showcasing the quirky quilts by Seattle based designer, Boo Davis.

If I had to choose, I would have to say that the South American interpretation of modern architecture is definitely my favorite.

It also doesn’t hurt that it is literally 20 yards from the ocean, in Brazil.
