Description

Trust one of the most inventive companies in the world to come up with an entirely fresh take on travel books. World-renowned design firm IDEO shifts the attention of the traveler and everyday observer from mere sightseeing toward looking - really looking - at their surroundings.

Insightful, easy to use, packed with photographs and presented in a convenient on the go format. "IDEO Eyes Open" rekindles curiosity and invites visitors - and residents - to see these cities with fresh eyes.
