Obsessions Make My Life Worse and My Work Better

Take a look at Stefan Sagmeister’s latest addition to the ongoing “Things I’ve Learned in my Life So Far” series, a statement that probably rings true for most designers. (Submit your own right here.) The message, created entirely out of hundreds of thousands of meticulously placed euro cent coins, was created as a part of Urban Play, one of the major events within experimentadesign 2008 in Amsterdam. Unfortunately though, the piece was short-lived. Apparently the police swept up the entire artwork a few hours after its installation in an effort to prevent people from pocketing the coins. You can read more about the project right here, and see more photos here.
