MATTIAS LUNDIN
This week's Flavorpill covers for all five cities come from (A Book) Designed to Help, assembled by UK designers iLovedust and published by Die Gestalten Verlag.
A lavish hardcover filled with new work from marquee designers worldwide, the book lives up to its name, with all proceeds going to nonprofit CARE for their tsunami relief efforts. Available for some time now in Europe, Designed to Help is finally being sold in the US. The opulent collection puts the extravagant impulses of the design community to good use, transforming luxurious layouts into much-needed munificence. "Can a typeface save the world?" asks one of the pages, rather plaintively. The answer might seem all too obvious, but consider this: these do-gooders have already collected almost 100,000 euros for charity.
The work featured in flavorpill NYC comes from designer Mattias Lundin of Ink Graphix.
