It’s finally feeling summery in Seattle, and we’ve been thinking about traveling the world (perhaps in a Velomobile), the power of typography, and how cool it is that the band CAKE used their own clothing to turn one of their songs into a book.

Don’t these lovely videos just make you want to grab your suitcase and travel the world?

The band CAKE partnered with BANDbooks to turn its song “Bound Away” into a handmade book, where the song’s lyrics are paired with fabulous illustrations.

Planning a road trip this summer? Why not travel by Velomobile.

Remember these cool bike rim lights? (Which we still can’t wait to get our hands on, BTW.) They just won a Core 77 Design Award.
