grafik 130  FL@33 book  review

"Number thirty-three (what a coincidence) in Pyramyd's series of compact Design and Designer monographs, this is a perfectly formed volume showcasing the intriguing work of London-based Franco-Austrian duo Agathe and Tomi, aka FL@33. Its diminutive size means that the emphasis is on imagery rather than text, so copy is pretty much restricted to the captions and a preface by Liz Brown. It doesn't really matter too much, though, as the work is consistently engaging and presented in a fresh and appealing way. It's a great snapshot of what they've achieved so far and bodes well for FL@33's future. Whoever came up with the horrible 'eye' concept for the cover design really should be marched off to the guillotine pronto, though – it didn't work on volume one and, surprise surprise, it still doesn't work on volume thirty-three."
