I've had this little red pocket guide for a while now. It came out of a dusty box of old papers, and the moment I opened it I knew it was going home with me. Plan Monumental Paris, Versailles, with a gilded Eiffel Tower on the cover and fold-out maps tucked inside that unfold way past the size of the book itself. Text in French, English and German, the way guidebooks were made when a trip abroad was a once-in-a-lifetime thing.
This is the kind of piece that starts every design we make. Somebody carried this through Paris, traced their route with a fingertip, folded it back up and brought it home. A hundred years later, it's still telling that story.
