ABOUT

New Plastic Weapons

In January 2004, Nick Shinn reviews the best radical designs of the 21st century: Lingua (Eric Olson), Sebastian (Frantisek Storm), Dalliance (Frank Heine), Lux Sans (Greg Lindy), Infinity (Chester and Rick Valicenti), Panoptica (Nick Shinn), Unibody (Underware), Klaxon (Rian Hughes), Perla (Gareth Hague), Alfon and Giacomo (both by James Montalbano). Nick does not like Fago, Info, Zine and Section, labeling them exercises in orthodoxy. On the other hand, he calls the playful didone Perla "modern jazz". Of Sebastian, he says that it "conveys the exotic glamour of impossible worlds."
