Out of the Blue - The Essence and Ambition of Finnish Design (Gestalten 2014)
I co-edited this book for Gestalten with Laura Houseley. The intent was to survey Finnish Design and at the same time place the Nokia Design team's work in this context. Dan Hill wrote a lovely essay Designing Finnishness for the book.
