Tiina Hakala took the time to think about how we misuse tables and created an elegant system we want to use. The subtle undulations of Undustrial's Water Wood calmed us as did i29's spare use of wood. We closed the 100% Design Shanghai journal with Tobi's mom, with whom we agree, China, keep and celebrate culture!
