Thrill seekers are invited to open it and enjoy the ride as the art takes off, turns inside out and loops the loop, leaving you eager to read it all over again.

White Noise David A. Carter  £19.99  

‘[M]ore than mere pop-up entertainment … White Noise … is a laptop sculpture garden, a romp through cubism and futurism, and a lesson in early-20th-century modernist formalism’ – Steven Heller, New York Times

White Noise is the latest in the remarkable series of pop-up constructions created by David A. Carter that started with One Red Dot. In White Noise the paper structures are not only incredibly elegant and intricate; they even create their own sounds as they open, adding a whole new dimension to the reading experience.
