Fabrica's Office Is Cooler Than Yours

This photo (at left) was taken at last week’s San Francisco festivities for the 73rd issue of Colors, the quarterly magazine established in 1991 under the editorship of Tibor Kalman and today part of Fabrica, Benetton‘s communication research center based in Treviso, Italy. See those two nametagged fellows standing between Academy of Art University graphic design professors Mary Scott and Phil Hamlett? They are Colors editorial director Enrico Bossan and creative director Erik Ravelo, and if they look suspiciously ebullient and curiously jetlagless, we think we know why.
