Άλκηστις - Πρόγραμμα Εθνικού Θεάτρου
A theatre programme does not end with the final curtain call. It becomes the object that brings the audience back to the experience, allowing time to add new layers of meaning rather than erase it. For Alcestis at the Ancient Theatre of Epidaurus, the programme accompanies a production by the National Theatre of Greece, one of the country's foremost cultural institutions. It does not seek to explain the performance. Instead, it extends it, creating space for the texts, the artists, and the reflections that linger long after the curtain falls. The white paper plays a quiet supporting role. It does not demand attention; it offers clarity, longevity, and a restrained material presence that allows the content to remain alive.

Size matters. Some printed publications never make it onto the bookshelf. They stay on the coffee table, inviting you to return and flip through their pages. Their generous format transforms them into objects worth revisiting. For Moda Bagno, this publication is an extension of the brand itself. Printed on Munken Polar—a natural paper from Sweden certified by Cradle to Cradle, Nordic Swan, FSC, and PEFC, and approved for food contact—it demonstrates that sustainability can be just as tangible as aesthetics. Because great design shouldn't only be seen. It should be felt.

Paper, too, has its own story. For the Narrative Archaeology invitation, we chose Old Mill Avorio 250 g, a paper with a low environmental footprint that combines natural raw materials with a timeless aesthetic. Its cotton fibres, warm off-white shade free from heavy pigmentation, and distinctive felt mark create a surface with a subtle, tactile texture. This embossed pattern is formed while the paper is still wet during the manufacturing process. As a result, each sheet retains a delicate irregularity, reminiscent of the handmade papers once produced by historic paper mills. A choice that resonates with the landscape of Epidaurus, the act of excavation, and the traces of time. A paper that does not merely represent history, but becomes part of it.

"Ce bleu vous rentre dans l’âme". This blue seeps into your soul. Henri Matisse at the Grand Palais. In his later years, when disability led him to “paint with scissors,” he discovered a new freedom through his cut-outs. A leading figure of Fauvism, he gave color an autonomous power. The publication accompanying the exhibition 03/26–07/26 by Grand Palais RmnEditions is printed on Munken Lynx 120gsm, selected after extensive testing for its color fidelity. The matte surface avoids reflections, the texture holds the ink and gives body to the blue, while the balance of sharpness and materiality brings the image closer to the original.
