We just sent off the first Punch’n’Cuddle newsletter – which means that we have now officially launched our company! Just in time for Valentine’s, we were able to express Punch’n’Cuddle’s love to all its fans (so maybe it was more a loveletter than a newsletter), by finally being able to give a date for our online […]

During Milan Design Week 2009, working for Core77, I sought to create a “Post Futurist Manifesto” through dialogues with some of the leading thinkers in the world of design. Interviewing designers, producers, publishers, gallery owners and sociologists, the dialogues centered around the new values that designers (and the design industry) should address, and the new […]
