Traffic Cones Of Japan
In a nation as safety conscious as Japan, it is perhaps unsurprising that the humble traffic cone is omnipresent. Yet, many instances of its use surprised, inspired and amused me. I created a photobook of the cones that didn’t just make me stop, but made me feel.
You can read more about the project in designboom, PetaPixel and Creativeboom, or less about the project in Surface Magazine. Nothing wrong with a little brevity, Surface.
