I stopped by the CO Gallery last night for the opening of their new exhibit which is called, ” Visions of our time . 10 years photography at the Deutschen Börse.” The show features work from the four finalists for this year´s Deutsche Börse Photo award, as well as some past winners and a stunning collection of work from Andreas Gursky, Sebastiao Salgado, and Juergen Teller among others. The exhibit will be running through July 19.

Design Hotel Book Sightings!

We are starting a new feature on Travel Diaries. Whenever we come across a real Design Hotels Book (or “vintage” Yearbook) in the wild, we will publish them here!

All submissions welcome. Simply send your image to J.Silverman@designhotels.com

To kick this feature off right, we are going to keep it a little old school as our first reported sighting comes courtesy of Leah Lee, who is a former E-marketing intern. Leah wrote in… “I went to the local bookstore in Bangkok during this summer vacation and found Design Hotels Yearbook 08 !! ”
