That's Michael Graves' notebook above... I just want to make sure the bar is set high enough for Joshua's upcoming trip to Barcelona and his City Notebook. Joshua's post reminded me of a recent detour I took during New York Design Week to preview DETOUR, an exhibition of 70 Moleskine notebooks created by 70 artists, designers, architects, filmmakers, writers, and illustrators. On now at the Art Directors Club in New York City until June 29, the exhibit includes notebooks by Cynthia Rowley, Sir Terence Conran, Michael Graves, Karim Rashid, Mike Figgis, Maira Kalman, Ross Lovegrove, Yves Behar, and Constantim Boym, among others. More examples after the jump and here as well.
