At One Question Towers we like our materials.
While this office is no temple to design, it is staffed by peeps who like a beautiful form, and a tactile thread.
Right now we’re reviving our obsession with uncoated papers.
Paper is either coated or it isn’t. Coatings vary in degrees of shiny finish, and uncoated is matt, so that it feels like recycled paper, even though often it isn’t.
We love uncoated for its tactile nature, for the fact that you can read a magazine even when you have over head lights, and in the desperate event of spilling your glass of Saint Emillion it’s sufficiently absorbent to soak up the last traces – licking a good wine from the table is ok, but do watch out for splinters.
Some of our favourite magazines are printed on a mix of both, now that really is class. Brings out the beauty of each and helps truly understand the contrast.
