An interesting interview with Martijn Pronk, head of Publications at the Rijksmuseum by We Are Museums:
"When creating your own work using Rijksmuseum images you connect with the collection in your own personal way. ... the internet has made it possible for everybody to enjoy the Rijksmuseum, even if they will never visit it in real life."

“There is only one way to translate a bird-song. … Study it thoroughly in all its moods, habits, occupations, emotions, reveries; at morning, at noon, at evening, at midnight. Find out patiently from all its songs, what each one means and take that one which will stand inclusively for it salient thought-traits. This will give you the key to the translation of such traits into words. Words are only thoughts putting on their clothes.” (Bird-songs Translated Into Words by Samuel Miller Hageman, 1887)

Inspired by the graphics on the Eames Giant House of Cards (I spent many hours of my childhood absorbed in those images) and the digitized treasures of the Rijksmuseum’s Rijksstudio, I’ve designed sturdy knapsacks that are both functional and beautiful with an eye-catching graphic design on each side. Whether you are traversing the far corners of the earth or traveling around the block, carry your essentials in style and comfort.
