Design Books – Flickr Sets
Posted: February 26th, 2008 | Author: Iancu | Filed under: books, design | No Comments »Flickr may be annoying many times (especially since you can’t post images larger than 1024px anymore – unless you go pro), but it sure holds a lot of great stuff. Insect54 (gotta love web2.0 nicknames :P) hosts a few gems, photo sets of some great design books, most of them about the insanely talented dutch designers.

Might sound like some Star Wars robot name, but 4FRNT have some killer skis, wonderfuly illustrated by Abe Kislevitz (check his site for awesome details and other models). I’d sure love to have a pair or two :)
These are the MSP, 2008 edition:

Evil cloud looming over Caraiman – brought the rain later in the evening :(
And it all started innocently like this:
