A small summer in yellow and blue. The yellow of the cover like the sun, the blue of the designs of Alekos Fasianos like the sea. Six poems of Jacques Lacarrière about Aphrodite, that alongside with the illustrations, compose a book flooded with sun and sea.
Hilma af Klint retrospective exhibition of a pioneering artist whose work was recognized posthumously, presented in Paris. The exhibition publications, the ABC Book catalogue and the exhibition journal, were printed on Munken Print White, an environmentally responsible paper containing a small percentage of wood pulp and offering a distinctive newspaper-like tactile quality. Hilma af Klint was a pioneer of abstract art, developing her own visual language before Malevich, Kandinsky, and Mondrian. She requested that her works be shown to the public twenty years after her death, believing that only then would they be properly understood. The exhibition catalogue was printed on Munken Print White 90 gsm. Despite its low grammage, the paper’s high bulk gives the book a substantial feel while keeping it lightweight for its size and exceptionally comfortable to handle.

"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.
When designers create for designers, every choice matters.
