The type is the “Golden Rule” as penned in the honest hand of a child. Maybe what we learned in kindergarten is most important after all.” Available from Studio On Fire (14 x 20 letterpress poster, $30).
I have always wanted to visit several of the luxury stationers of Paris but have yet to make a trip to the city specifically for that purpose. Vendel Shakespeare, Stern Graveur, Marie Papier, Cassegrain, Benneton and Armorial are all highlighted here, along with a map and information about each elite paper house. One day I will wander into Stern (located in the 2nd Arrondissement) and sit down with Madame Stern. Apparently, she commands you to write your name on a blank sheet of paper and she will then tell you what your stationery will be. Bon. I can live with that.
