David Karoff created a 'reading chair' made of 238 paperbacks! Apparently his mom is a volunteer at the local library, and she collected these books from customer donations. They were the left-overs that didn't sell, so they were heading for the trash bin, but Karoff used them for an art project instead!

Book Demo 1 Videos

Hey All,

If anyone would like videos from Reg's book demo last class, just ask me during next class. I have 8 of them and they are pretty good quality, otherwise I would have uploaded them to vimeo.

Design by the Book

Design by the Book is a collaboration between design*sponge and the New York Public Library. The series would highlight the local talent in NYC as well as the creative resources available at the library. Five artists use the library and it's collections as inspiration for their own creative process.
