Tiny stickers at the back mention the artist, release date, series number, etc. The growing collection of these mobile mini canvases – featuring over 1,700 individual designs by over 600 international graphic designers, illustrators, photographers and artists – consists of all B.I.O. (By Invitation Only) contributions, winners of Stereohype's annual button badge design competition and additional series such as the special collaborations: AFOMFS Series, MICA Series, 10x10 Series and Emoji Series. Badges are manufactured in the United Kingdom.

An arts and calligraphy enthusiast, Cédric Malo has been working as a graphic designer since 1996. After starting out alongside the members of the Tous des K collective, in 2000 he set up his studio Tabas in Marseille, and has since carried out commissions for music labelsand public institutions. His personal work – paintings on cardboard, photography, rag dolls – flows from a plastic, craft-like approach. His highly colourful, playful and relevant designs are, by virtue of their simplicity, accessible to the largest possible number of people. The first book showcasing his work Design & Designer 024 – Tabas was published as part of Pyramyd Editions' monograph series.
