BOOK DESIGN & EDITORIAL PROJECTS
Books that make ideas tangible
THE SUBJECT SHOULD SHAPE THE BOOK
Some stories need to be uncovered slowly. Some ideas need a pathway. Some information needs to be instantly clear.
01 / EXPERIMENTAL BOOK DESIGN
Hiroshima, my love
Based on Alain Resnais' 1959 film, written by Marguerite Duras, this book explores the fragile relationship between love and memory. The reader can cut through part of the binding to reveal a fuller version of the screenplay—turning the act of reading into a physical metaphor for uncovering what has been kept inside.
Design focus: structure, typography, and a binding that makes the central idea tangible.
66 pp // 140×210 mm // February–March 2026

Through interviews with graduates, it tells stories of personal growth, creative journeys, and life after graduation, presenting the academy not just as an institution, but as a living community full of opportunities.Design focus: editorial storytelling, interview-led content, and a newspaper format that brings the academy’s people and perspectives to the forefront.16 pp // 297×420 mm // May 2025
03 / EDITORIAL DESIGN
Burning Man — (not) a Festival
Big editorial project explores Burning Man as a social and artistic experiment. The book brings together research and perspectives from organizers, participants, musicians, and artists to examine the event’s origins, structure, and cultural influence. Its opening follows a route from Baker Beach in San Francisco to Black Rock Desert. Recurring visual inserts, carefully organized footnotes, and a considered treatment of photographs help the reader navigate dense material without losing the rhythm of the story.
Design focus: transforming research into a readable narrative through structure, typography, and pacing.
564 pp // 210×272 mm // May–June 2026
04 / VISUAL RESEARCH
Salt of the Earth
This visual study explores salt as both a material substance and a cultural symbol in Slavic and Asian cultures. Organized around two archetypes—rock salt and sea salt—the research examines how rituals, folklore, language, and visual traditions give an everyday mineral different meanings.
Design focus: building a visual system around two contrasting archetypes and a layered field of cultural references.
504 pp // 140×200 mm // January–March 2025
