In this letter we explore the amazing work of Niklaus Stoecklin and we'll also see some work by different unknown authors: a collection of Zippo illustrated ads, Air BP magazine and a Buvard for Jalla
Congratulations on the 40th issue of The Attic! I am always happy to receive your newsletter with its wonderful illustrations, both old and new. Many of them remind me of my childhood summers in Spain with my family. Others are familiar to me from design books and magazines I have read over the years.
Although I became a documentary filmmaker, I have always dreamed of being a designer — either in architecture or graphic design.
I wanted to ask if you have ever made an issue about matchbox designs from Spain in the 1960s–1970s? I remember collecting many of these beautiful matchboxes during my summers in Spain and loving them all! Unfortunately, my family members used these matches to smoke, and now some are facing health problems, even though I warned them when I was a child.
If you would like to see one of my documentary films, please let me know! I would be happy to send you a link to my most well-known film.
Thank you again for your amazing design work and for creating this newsletter for all of us. I hope you have a great week!
Thank you so much, 40 letters is no joke haha so I’m super happy to read that you enjoy them. And how sweet that they remind you of your childhood summers and your family!
I haven’t done any issue with matchbox designs, I do have a few collected waiting for the day to be shared as I really love the simplicity of shapes and the colors, but I don’t think I have any from Spain… And oh no, I’m sorry to hear some of your family members have health issues due to that!
Oh, that’s very nice of you, thank you! I’d love to watch it. Though I don’t have a lot of time lately, so maybe it’d be in a few weeks? But sure, send me the title of your film so I can look it up if you prefer. :)
