♦ Book design. Little monster will be screaming NO! in Helsinki. (Available in Finnish, it could scream: “Ei!”). I am invited to participate in a design exhibition, displaying the cover of “No! Said the Little Monster”. Helsinki is World Design Capital 2012 and the exhibition is called “Everyday Discoveries“, in Suvilahti, Helsinki, 6. -16. September 2012. Here is what they say:
“Everyday Discoveries” is unique in its comprehensive presentation of international design. The exhibition will see more than 20 countries showcase their design, ideas and concepts as well as organise a number of different events. The exhibition’s underlying theme is day-to-day life – what is it like in the participating countries, and what kind of solutions to certain everyday situations have people come up with in the different countries?
“Everyday Discoveries” is produced by Design Forum Finland. Everyday Discoveries is a World Design Capital Signature Event.
♦ Birthday monsters! I just got a wonderful birthday present this morning: Little Monster and Big Monster knitted in some monstrously furry yarn. I am so excited to meet the two when they soon turn home to Iceland! Meanwhile I hope they behave well at my sisters home in the US. Thank you Salvör!
