comments: novum is a design magazine from germany that commissioned paperlux to design a cover for them. buckminster fuller was the inspiration behind their design. wow. the colors are brilliant, but what really amazes are the more than 1,000 triangles that are die cut into the surface of the cover. again, wow. this gives the cover the ability to fold and move in a fluid and complex way. one more time, wow.
