Demano Barcelona

Demano bags are made from banners promoting exhibitions, festivals and cultural events in and around Barcelona. Cool, sustainable, eco-recycling, making a statement and looks amazing - thats my kinda thing.

The waterproof nature of the banners means they are also perfect for wellies and hats too. Endless combinations of bag styles, shapes and banners are available and you can also pick your own if there isn't one that quite fits the bill.

Hello brother's birthday present!

Mapping the Future

I have recently discovered the worldly wonders of The Future Mapping Company, 'creating cartograhpy for the 21st century'

They show political and physical information (plate tectonics etc) and use a cylindrical equal area projection. This means they depict the world as a true representation, showing the exact proportional shapes and sizes of countries, something a lot of maps don't do.

Their maps are strikingly beautiful, in the most vibrant and complementary colour schemes.

I think I'm starting my Christmas list several months early this year.
