The exhibition becomes a feature in the #3 FAKE issue of the Current Obsession magazine accompanied by Thomas Albdorf‘s photographs.

We are not a fair, nor a festival. 
Not a museum, a showroom or a gallery. 
We are a temporary place for contemporary design, 
only with the best intentions.

Mini Cooper

My wife and I recently brought home a Mini Cooper. The Mini is a great car with a high attention to detail. Floor mats backed with Velcro to prevent movement and rain sensitive wipers are some details Mini designer's considered. My personal favorite is the color changeable accent lighting. A small switch near the driver seat allows one to scroll through the color wheel, pressing the switch in the opposite direction even allows for a color's brightness to be changed.

Well conceived and designed business cards become more than just contact information. They become keepsakes and souvenirs. Unlike the digital material we have become accustomed to receiving, business cards are tangible and that carries great impact.
