This is wonderful. My dad has all these books about who designs what, and I miss having those books around. I wonder if there's a Bulgarian Design Resource, because I'm thinking of going there over Christmas...and I need something to talk about!

Thanks for this. This reminds me of Douglas Coupland's art in his Souvenir of Canada books.

This is very interesting. If you look at post-war stuff, you can almost pick out the exact moment when canadians stop making british-influenced design and start being influenced primarily by the US.

Love the tin can drawers in furniture. Surprised to see there's not more eco-stuff, though... Or more bongs!

Why? It's some private organization's project. You don't see a lot of French in the Eaton Centre either.

The Jets logo is a classic.

When I was a kid the tooth fairy traded me one of those cut-out quarter pendants for a molar. I wish I knew what happened to it.
