Things I Like • Paper Samples • GF Smith •2024
We received a lovely paper-sample book from GF Smith. The pink and yellow remined me of the Mexican modernist architecture of Louis Barragán. The shape of the book, reminded me of the Schröder House by Gerrit Reitveld, in Holland.
I love the this idea of architecture expressed in the miniature everyday. Perfect.
Communication design as architecture without walls

Unpacking my Library • Pop-Up • France • 2024
This pop-up book has just arrived. It's a charming series of keep-fit style exercises, animated through paper engineering. Great flat-colour and typographic style too. A really lovely thing by Marion Bataille, and just published. TOP, thumbs-up!

Unpacking my Library • Department Store • MADS Paris • 2024
The department store as mind-palace and inter-action, fun-palace and think-belt (Cedric Price), or proto-Pompidou...Threshold moments and the architecture of experience

Things I Like • Vintage Hospital Suit • France • c 1950s
Equipements Militaires is stamped onto the metal buttons of the trousers of a vintage blue wool two-piece hospital suit from France. These suits were cut in a loose, unstructured, way and with simple construction.
The jacket has a shawl collar, patch pockets and a tie waist. It is a modern version of the old-style smoking jacket, but without the fancy silk collar. The trousers are wide-leg and tie-waisted.
The suits were made for recovering military casualties in the days before anti-biotics. The blue coloured cloth seems to have been standard for these suits, in both Britain and France.
The thick woolen cloth is woven by Linne-Desmaziere of Houplines, near Lille in northern France. All the suits I've found online have the same cloth, but are made in different places. SSA36 is the pattern number I think.
Here are some pictures of a similar suit, found online from Japan. These pictures are lovely, and show the shape and detail of the suit beautifully...

Things I Like • Designer Beer Mats • mid20C
Like a match-box label, a beer mat is a lovely small piece of graphic design...simple in concept and economically printed. Lots of people collect them. I have a few that relate to the posters I like
Above, are mats deriving from the designs of Tom Eckerlsey and Abram Games.
