Sitting pretty with PLANEfurniture

[Alyson Kuhn] Michael Boyd, designer of the PLANEfurniture line, collects modernist furniture, art, architecture and design books, and ephemera. Last year, he decided to create a line of modernist-inspired furniture that “makes you think, holds your body, eases your mind, and sits well within your budget.” That’s a quote from the jacket flap of PLANEfurniture: types + prototypes, designed by Mick Hodgson of Ph.D, A Design Office. I recently sat in some of the furniture and can confirm that it is quite user-friendly.

Bone folders … for a good fold & a good cause

A bone folder is possibly the most essential tool for a paper or book artist or any paperlover who wants to get a crisp fold or score. One of my favorite sets is now available in Felt & Wire Shop in the new Supply section, reported here last week. All proceeds from this sale benefit the nonprofit WNY Book Arts Center. Happiness.
