Lightning History: brief interview with bless collaborator samuel ...

, Were a silver thimble and a silver acorn, a lover's take on the friendship necklace. The bit of information on the packaging explained that the set had been created as a collaboration between art-fashion group Bless and designer Samuel de Goede. Through the magic of internet stalking, I was able to contact de Goede, who, after I fanned out on him, agreed to answer a few questions for me via e-mail. Our brief conversation below: Penguin supplied me with as much of the finished books as we needed, I then brought them to a bookbinder here in Amsterdam (all production for the project has been done locally in Amsterdam) and had them cut open the book and insert blank pages of the same paper on the page before the passage (it is a little lighter than the paper that was in the book already but this is inevitable due to the printing process making the paper a little grey-ish), punch the holes out and put the book back together with a new spine.
