The project started with a simple idea: create disposable "designer toys" with pure d.i.y. ethics. We started drawing over balloons what we would like to draw over vinyl toys, but we couldn´t afford. That´s how the Latex for fun project was born... and in a few months 135 designers from over 20 countries participated; Their work reflects various styles, personalities and cultures, but all of it shows how vibrantly creative the collaboration of a spontaneously generated global design network can be.

Latex for fun is a book edited by Max-o-matic (Barcelona), and published by Die Gestalten Verlag (Berlín). To celebrate the release of the book, an exhibition will be held in Vallery (Barcelona) showcasing work from many artists involved in the project.
