LAZERIAN NEWSPAPER

The lazerian design team have packed up and gone to London town to display their collective talents to the rest of the world at the prestigious 100% design show.
To help show off their talents they have lovingly put together a newspaper outlining the Lazerian way of life, which i am pleased to say has a small feature on the wall piece i created for the studio a few months back, a lovely surprise to say the least.
As far as i know Lazerian are making waves at the show already, featuring in a number of newspaper and magazine articles.

go to the lazerian blog on http://www.blog.lazerian.co.uk/?p=323
to download the e paper and get a look at the articles and some tasty lazerian design.
