Hej Ruth! Today’s summary is ready for you.
Law firms and coffee shops try to look less corporate by copying your regulars.
It is always amusing when giant institutions try to shed their navy blue suits, as Uncommon managed to do for White & Case without entirely losing their minds. Meanwhile, a Seoul cafe decided that the best way to handle packaging is turning your actual customers into literal dots for Fig Coffee. If literalism starts feeling a bit dry, you can always retreat into the past, whether that means looking at Es Devlin dissecting her scale models in Other Worlds or simply remembering why we stopped building hotels out of raw concrete blocks.
