Found this handy typing guide, printed on card, in one of the old tomes in the Standard Designs Library today. I wonder if it was the inspiration for my ‘The Typewriter Keys They Phased Out’ print (which is almost 10 years old now). #standarddesigns #typing #typewriter #print #art #printmaking #homedecor #work #officework #giftideas #vintage #vintagetypewriter #language #englishlanguage #foibles #mannerism

I love the Barbican - no idea what it’s like to live there, but visiting it is like stepping into a movie set (this was the future once). And so I was delighted to find this book of utterly drool-worthy photos by @crudquist Christoffer Rudquist and floor plans of the many many different units in the Estate. Looking forward to walking around there again when these shenanigans are over. @stefiorazistudio #barbican #barbicanestate #london #centrallondon #architecture #modernistarchitecture #modular #photography #architecturephotography #interiors #interiordesign #1960s #1970s #england #design #designforliving (at Barbican Estate)
