epilogue – prologue by Design Soil
Design Soil is a project from the product design department at Kobe Design University in Japan. The project is run by professors and students whose goal is to re-evaluate design practices and let the young designers create at their own pace, much like plants growing in soil. “epilogue – prologue” is their latest project of nine designs in which they not only think about the beginning of an idea (prologue) but they also consider the end product (epilogue).

Soft Cities Map Blankets & Napkins
San Francisco-based Soft Cities creates blankets and napkins, or Mapkins as they call them, which feature a map with a location of your choice.

They are completely customizable and the options are endless.
