We felt this Ted video of Stefan Sagmeister was appropriate given our hiatus. If your not familiar with Sagmeister’s studio every 7 years he takes a year off and closes his doors to explore individual creative pursuits. This is well worth a look!
Volkswagen converted a set of stairs at the Odenplan subway station in Stockholm into a functioning set of piano keys in an effort to get people to take the stairs.
