Reviews

"Writer Gabby Dawnay and illustrator Lesley Barnes have produced a scintillating thing using geometric patterns, restrained colours and cunning paper engineering. Chunks of sparse text loop around the images, mimicking the shifting steps of a dance." – Financial Times

"If you have somebody in your life that likes Bauhaus or design and architecture in general, this book will instill a great deal of joy. Fans of pop–up books and papercraft will love it too. It really is beautiful to behold and a great jumping–off point for discovering more about the influential Bauhaus style.' – GeekDads

'Possibly the greatest gift ever for the design–led loved ones in your life'– Actual Size Magazine
