Lotta Nieminen是來自芬蘭的插畫家,曾被選為二十位30歲以下的國際設計新星,她擅長用簡單的線條,繪出令人驚嘆的繽紛空間,被視為國際炙手可熱的新銳設計師,而這本「Walk This World」便是她的佳作之一。
本書透過大膽的色彩與線條,將世界各國文化收錄於每一頁,不論是相似的文化或差異都紛紛躍於紙上。書中設計精巧的小機關(如窗戶和門),讀者都可打開來一窺不同國家的面貌,彷彿就像到了新國家般驚奇。【文∕博客來外文館】
A composite of global cultures, Walk this World celebrates the everyday similarities as well as the exotic differences that exist between cultures around the world. Travel to a new country
with every turn of the page, each with new surprises to discover: peep through windows, open doors and delve underground by opening the many lift-flaps designed into every spread.
