Book: ‘Tree of Codes’ by Jonathan Safran Foer
The die-cutting is no gimmick. The powerful voice that Safran Foer has exhumed from Schulz’s text is made all the poignant by the gaps in between words, which have an extraordinary resonance.

IDEO’s inspired error message
While swotting up on Prince Philip Prize winner Bill Moggridge, we found ourselves directed to this error message on design agency IDEO’s website. A little embarrassing perhaps, given that he co-founded the company, but IDEO more than redeems itself with this little work of art.
Inside Anish Kapoor’s London studio
Artist Anish Kapoor recently opened the doors of his epic London studio to Wallpaper*, taking us on a private tour. ‘My studio’s not a factory - it’s a place for experimentation, invention, discovery and excavation,’ he says. ‘It’s where I look for things to put into the world.’ Kapoor is currently busy preparing for his first ever show in India, opening later this month in the National Gallery of Modern Art, New Delhi, and the Mehboob Film Studios, Mumbai.

Yet-to-be identified artworks from RCA Secret 2010
Spotting an Olafur Eliasson or Grayson Perry from among works by emerging artists or RCA graduates is harder than you might think - or so it would seem from this little selection. But that’s exactly the point of the RCA Secret. You won’t know who the artworks are by until you buy. So unless your eyes are trained enough to spot a Tracey Emin scribble, or you have intimate knowledge of the weird world of Jake Chapman, you’re forced to choose on aesthetic merit alone. And even then, the artists might defy expectations.
