We are pleased to announce the newest addition to Pinball’s battery of beautifully rugged print provisions: The Baumfolder. We plugged this puppy in yesterday, and she’s already up and running, performing a slick bi-fold for these lovely 3-color annual reports for People’s Food Co-op.

Our frequent collaborator and dear friend Ian Lynam posted an interview with Pinball Publishing in two great places; Néojaponisme, and Viewers Like You. Néojaponisme is a smart (in content and looks) web journal produced by four expats living in Japan. Viewers Like You is an engaging and slightly less academic online blog “devoted to contemporary art, design, music and culture.”

The Javits Center (pictured above) was the many-windowed home to Surtex (a surface design show) and the ICFF (international contemporary furniture fair) during the same time as the Stationery [...]

During the third day, we decided it was time to shake it up. Ashley and I covered the entire floor of the Javits Center and connected with many other exhibitors as Pinball People. It was really great to share the Pinball love with everyone and hear about their show experience. Our booth drew more media [...]

Wowee, we’ve just wrapped up the second day of the stationery show! We had the pleasure of seeing our good friend Lisa DeJohn today, and chatting it up with great like-minded people from the paper goods industry. The peeps at Night Owl were sure sweet, and we connected with a number of great new retailers [...]
