Of course, Phaidon would publish a monograph about Braun.

They're basically the Criterion Collection of photo books. Braun's design aesthetic intrigued me before I knew it to be designed. And while I don't have much, I have a simple wristwatch and that watch bears just about the same clock face as graces the cover of the soon to be released book.

Tumblr terminated my blog after 10 years and 17.000 posts and 180.000 followers. There had been 3 notes during 18 months concerning copyright problems. Yes, this is the Digital Millennium Copyright Act, but there is also the aspect of fair-use, as my blog was non-profit, educational and culturally significant. A cruel and senseless decision. I tried to get in touch with the support, but all the mails were automated or AI. I am really sad, and a lot of students and design history lovers are sad as well. It is a loss as there there is/was nothing comparable.

But I refuse to be dragged down: I'll start from the scratch, please visit the new design-is-fine.org.
