Finding Australia in our office library

In our office library we have guidebooks on New York, books on cooking, music, drink making, art, design, illustration, fashion and cars.

We also have magazines with amazing graphic pictures and type, like the copies of the Danish home interiors magazine "Bo Bedre" from the 70's. "Bo Bedre" have supplied so many great ideas and images for my work.

"Edible Selby" is a modern, youthful book by photographer Todd Selby. The photos capture creative and dynamic kitchens, gardens, homes, and restaurants, accompanied by beautiful, fun watercolors.
Inside this book,  I found a place I used to work for called "Captains of Industry" in Melbourne many years ago when I was a university student saving to move to Tokyo. 

I made cappuccino's, flat white's, latte's, B.L.T's, Reuben's, pulled pork sandwiches and many more American things.

It is a lifestyle business which offers American food and coffee, made to order footwear, accessories & suits. Traditional English & American haircuts, facial hair grooming services and Japanese Selvage Denim. This place communicates quality, history and aesthetics. 

It was a strange feeling to look at photos of my old work place in Australia while I was standing in our Tokyo office. It brought back many good, summer memories.

Another place I found from Melbourne, is a small café called "Newtown Social Club" from "Whet My Appetite",  A book about culinary graphic design and branding. "Newtown Social Club" was my local café, It was 5 minutes walk from my home!
