details : feature 1
This is the first installment in what I plan to be a frequent feature on our blog: posts dedicated to design that solves problems, making daily life more functional and more beautiful. Scandinavia is rife with examples, and I am excited to start making people on the street uncomfortable as I ask to photograph their shoes and eye glasses.
feature 1 : The Faroese Phonebook
I wish the United States would take a clue from this svelte phonebook and drop its ubiquitous garish yellow design for something a little more comfortable to live with. The cover's matte finish, jewel tone tabs and clean font make it an object that doesn't scream to be hidden in the kitchen cabinet.

hmmm, photographing people's fashionable glasses and shoes and posting them on your blog . . . you should take pictures of them if they have stylish hair, too. i've heard you can meet stylish people at the youth meetings.

Love that phonebook. It looks like something out of an IKEA catalogue (and I love my IKEA).
