This beautiful library by Li Xiaodong Atelier is nestled in the small village of Huairou in China. Its interior features plenty of cozy nooks and crannies to read in and great care was taken with the exterior to make sure that it would blend with its natural surroundings. I really want to hang out there even though I can’t read a word of Chinese. They’ve gotta have some picture books, don’t they?

The library belonging to the abbey St Peter in the Black Forest.

(yes, it’s actually called that and yes, it actually exists, it’s not a stage prop for some Disney film)

Fedrigoni: Imaginative Colors by Emma Jackson

“YCN Student Award brief to create a promotional campaign for Fedrigoni Paper’s new “Imaginative Colours” paper selection tool. 

My concept centers around the idea of an escape from everyday life. When we imagine our minds leave where we are; our offices, our streets, our towns, and enter another world.

This mail out book offers a brief escape from an everyday fast-paced environment. What appears at first to be a row of houses becomes an invitation into an imaginative world. ”
