Educational prints.
Fun vintage prints at Three Potato Four.
These children's elementary educational charts from the 1950s provide simple and wonderfully illustrated explanations of basic science principles. Each chart is in good to very good vintage condition showing only minor surface wear and the occasional mild yellowing (please see photos). Prints measure 12.75" by 16" and are sold individually.

From the Swissy herself:
Hey Milwaukee! I am so excited to announce an upcoming speaking engagement in your lovely town! Join me for an AIGA Talk on November 6th, 2009 6:30pm at Hanson Dodge who will be generously hosting the event.

She studied design in Geneva and Munich and has worked at several prominent NYC design firms, including Thinkmap, where she was Design Director and helped design the award-winning Visual Thesaurus. Eisenberg now runs her own studio, with recent clients including the Museum of Modern Art and the Food Network. The self-proclaimed “Swiss Miss” says, “My aesthetics reveal my Swiss roots – I am a firm believer in white space and clean, elegant design.” Tina Roth Eisenberg is a well-rounded, gregarious and energetic designer and true lover of design. She will share insights into the work she’s done in New York City and how her blog has opened many doors.

Best lecture hall ever.
This would have cheered me up no end during college.
Museum 1302 features customized, colorful versions of the furniture line’s 01 Chair, its seat and backrest upholstered in different hues. Against the auditorium’s spare grey walls and cement steps, Room 26 bursts as wildly as pop rocks. The chairs achieve what Studio Arne Quinze intends—“infectious creations that pull you into their self-shaped sphere and hold you captive.”
