BOLTED DOORGESCHOTEN

Maarten Kolk

People eat vegetables every day, but how many actually look at them? Arising from Dutch designer Maartin Kolk’s fascination with vegetable gardens and his belief that everyday objects are too often taken for granted, Bolted is a sun-drenched collection of color photos detailing the extraordinary colors and shapes of bolted vegetable plants - that is, plants that have gone past ripeness to an overgrown state that is useless in the garden but beautiful to the eye. For this stunning, small format book, Kolk observed a vegetable garden and highlighted its hidden splendor, from carrot to zucchini.

Color Design Tool

Ulrichadolf Namislow

The Color Accordion is an ingenious and handy tool for designers, art directors, painters, basically anyone who works with color. The brainchild of the brilliant German designer Ulrichadolf Namislow – whose witty, inventive products are featured in the MOMA design catalog – this is a set of 36 colored cards with strategically die-cut holes. By turning the cards 90 degrees at a time, you’ll find four shades at a time make up continuous “chords” of four.
