Imagine Allen Lane in 1935, longing for a good book on a AIR platform, and how that moment sparked the Penguin revolution! ЁЯРз I'm absolutely loving this "Postcards from Penguin" box – 100 iconic covers celebrating British design.
This one, H.G. Wells' "War in the Air," sent all the way from the Philippines by Cris, is a fantastic example! It's military sci-fi from 1908, and the cover is just stunning. A little piece of literary and design history in my hand. Thanks, Cris!

Check out this amazing picture postcard from 1993, printed in Germany by Benedikt Taschen Verlag! At first glance, you'd swear it's a vintage radio, right? But it's actually a super stylish fan heater from 1955! ЁЯдп
This beauty is from the collection of Hermann Gotting in Cologne and was captured in all its glory by the talented photographer Bernhard Schaub, also from Cologne.
Isn't it incredible how design can transform everyday objects into works of art? This postcard is a testament to the timeless appeal of mid-century aesthetics.
P.S. Did you know Bernhard Schaub also has a book featuring 50 stunning designs? I'm definitely intrigued! Anyone else want to check it out?
