dOCUMENTA (13) — 100-notes-100-thoughts are a series of 100 notebooks designed by Italian design company Leftloft and published by German art house Hatje Cantz, in order to mark the occasion of this year's edition of the 100-day arts festival that takes place in Germany once every five years and will be running in Kassel from June 9 until 16 September.

Comprised of facsimiles of existing notebooks, commissioned essays, collaborations, and conversations of artists, scientists, philosophers, linguists, psychologists economists and political theorists involved in the event, the notebooks appear in three different formats (A6, A5, B5) and range from 16 to 48 pages in length.

The idea is to document and share the musings and thought processes of many influential figures, in a true It's the journey that matters philosophy, as said by the organizers:

A note is a trace, a word, a drawing that all of a sudden becomes part of thinking, and is transformed into an idea.

Bold colors and understated typography make these books into simple and desirable objects... I'd want one of each!
