Penguin Book Design

Ever since the creation of the first Penguin paperbacks in 1935, their jackets have become a constantly evolving part of Britain’s culture and design history. Rich with stunning illustrations and filled with detail of individual titles, designers and even the changing size and shape of the Penguin logo itself, this book shows how covers become design classics.

The Rolling Bench

Why do public benches never seem to dry? A simple solution to an age old problem, The Rolling Bench ensures you’ll have a dry pad to sit on no matter the conditions.

Designed by Korean firm Sungwoo Park and friends, the bench is built on a rotating axle. Just turn the hand crank to unveil the dry side of the seat so you can take a load off without getting a wet behind.

How cool!
