Hello friends, here’s a quick update on a couple things.
Mad Color
Since the Portland design conference XOXO started, we’ve been producing small, custom runs of our Memo Books for attendees to go along with the visual theme of each year’s event.
XOXO 2018: Limit three per household.
After taking a year off, XOXO returned for 2018 bigger and more awesome than ever. The conference worked with the unstoppable Shawna X this year, so of course, we did too. The results are beautiful, featuring three covers, each a bright explosion of color and form. They’re available right now.
Principled
Gary Hustwit’s new documentary about iconic designer Dieter Rams is now premiering across America and the world. (4 Stars from the FN Crew.)
Powers of Ten
In conjunction with the release, we’ve made a 3-Pack which includes Rams’s famous Ten Principles of Good Design on the cover. A limited number of these are available now.
End Papers
Our new limited-edition for Fall, the “End Papers” Edition is something different entirely. A classic, vintage look in a new slim profile, these journals are selling quickly.
Inner Beauties
“End Papers” are available in 2-Packs and also via subscription. If you start a sub with this edition, we’ll include a 15-Month Work Station Calendar for 2019 free with your first shipment.
Resized and Revised
A Winter’s Tale
We have a slew of new stuff, surprises, and events planned for the next couple months, not the least of which is WINTER, so stay tuned. It’s going to be especially fun (and helpful) to be a subscriber when WINTER drops in a few weeks. Just sayin’.
Nueva Edición Regional
We made a Spanish-language 3-Pack for Puerto Rico to include in our popular “County Fair” line of Memo Books. The first 500 of those sold quickly. As promised, we’re cutting a check for five grand to ongoing relief efforts on the island. Look for more details on that soon.
Thanks for paying attention, and for stepping up for Puerto Rico too. Con amor,
