My infrequent email updates - Issue #1

By Jesper • Issue #1 • View online

Hi there!

So, this is my first infrequent email update! :) My idea is to share a mix of personal stuff and cool things I’ve found on the internet recently.

I’m currently on parental leave with our son Gustav. We enjoying this wonderful late summer visiting the long list of cool Copenhagen playgrounds, a few museums on rainy days, and other nice spots in the city.

While Gustav is napping, I (sometimes) find a bit of computer time, so here’s a bunch of links I’ve enjoyed recently.

Have a great weekend! (:

VIDEO: You are fluent in this language (and don't even know it)

The illustrator Christoph Niemann simply keeps on surprising and inspiring me by his wonderful way of viewing the world and translating into to illustrations. Simple and precious. This TED talk was published recently, and what pleasure it is to be invited into the mind of such a generous artist.

Map Design – a guide to good looking maps

Someone just dug up this old guide on good practice in designing orienteering maps. Since I love both orienteering and design, this was an inspiring read.

Dieter Rams designed one of Gillette's most successful razors

There are so many stories out there about the great designer Dieter Rams. Best known for the products he created at Braun and for inspiring the designs of Apple, this story about the Gillette razors is a great supplement.

Kvadrat Soft Cells

Visiting the Danish Design Museum the other day, I came across these acoustic panels from the textile company Kvadrat. While most acoustic fixing solutions are super ugly in their own ways, it’s nice to know that fixing the acoustics of a room could actually also elevate its visual beauty.
