Friday, February 24, 2012

Whoever travelled the balkan region with backpack and sleeping bag might very well have met the locals and encountered the people’s love for traditional songs.

IT’S NICE THAT

Friday, February 17, 2012

Anyone who is already familiar with the rather brilliant design culture blog It’s Nice That will have second-guessed by now that it’s a solid fixture on our daily morning Internet itineraries, but the real highlight comes on Fridays, as it should, when it’s time for The Weekender.

Wednesday, January 11, 2012

There is a beautiful kind of manifesto in the first pages of the current issue of 032c, summing up their thoughts and ideas from over a decade of magazine-making, in the usual slightly heady style of 032c, of course.
