The Formica Corporation brings back two classics: Boomerang, formerly called Skylark, and Virrvarr. Then, Now & Next, the book's title, speaks to the past (the history of two blockbuster patterns), the present (the long awaited return of these much heralded designs) and the future (an invitation to designers to design the next classic and become part of design history in the way that the Boomerang and Virrvarr designers did). From the toothy black uncoated cover with foil stamping to the ultra glossy, bright white text pages dripping with ink, this delightful 4" X 5" handheld book is full of visual candy: vintage and contemporary photographs in color and black and white, witty quotes from notable characters, rich red and black solids and timeless typography. The book was mailed in a small, corrugated black package completing the recipients' intimate experience with this keepsake.
