The prints we make for our 'daily use' not only use paper, but also ink. Lots of ink!

Most appealing ideas are simple: how much of a letter can be removed while maintaining readability?

Haircuts by Children invites the consideration of children as creative and competent individuals whose aesthetic choices can be trusted. The idea that kids should be allowed to cut our hair evokes the same leap of faith, courage and understanding required to grant children deeper citizenship rights.

Ever seen a photograph in Wallpaper Magazine and thought, that would look great on my wall? Well the magazine is about to make the leap from newsstand wall to gallery wall. Opening tomorrow in the stylish St Martins Lane Hotel in London is a temporary photography exhibition called Wallpaper Selects. It will showcase ten works from eight photographers selected from the archives of the magazine. Wallpaper has partnered with contemporary art publishers Eyestorm to produce a number of limited edition, artist signed and numbered prints of the photographs that are available for sale.

Tokyo has always been the cool trendsetter of our global high school. And even as the city ages with the rest of Japan (20% of the population aged 65 or older), Tokyo is proving once again to be a beacon for anyone looking to catch a glimpse of the best, newest, products on the market. The Baby Boom generation - with their collective wealth and supposed lifelong sense of entitlement (i.e. tendency to spend) - is an especially attractive demographic to brands and marketers. The latest issue of Monocle discusses how industries all over Tokyo - from travel agencies to toymakers - have been shifting their product development and communication strategies to cater to Japanese boomers. The architectural landscape is being reshaped as well. Hospitals, communal baths and minimalist design-conscious residential spaces are being merged together into so-called Hospitalment complexes.
