On the subway in most European cities, it’s a passenger habit to leave behind the morning’s newspaper. They aren’t littering (like a New Yorker would be); it’s simply a courtesy for other commuters who might want to soak up some world news while they’re getting from point A to point B. But that practice doesn’t pan out as well in parks or public spaces, where a newspaper will get blown adrift and wind up as trash in someone’s garden.Pivot Creative, an Amsterdam-based architect and designer duo, thought it was a shame that literature-sharing only took place on the train.
