The ERB’s peculiar print design creates occasional spaces between articles. Issue One filled some of those voids with Void Fills, an ongoing project of B-PLOT studio.

« Void Fill is an industry term. In supply chain logistical worlds, ‘void fill’ refers to packing materials that occupy empty spaces around products: the stuff between the corrugated shipping box and its contents. » Inflated air pillows are « the lightest void fill material on the market ».
