Open horizons for theatre, dance, and music. The Athens Epidaurus Festival, the oxygen of the Greek summer, once again opens its stage to the performing arts and this publication comes to accompany that journey. The choice of Munken is aligned with this experience: warm, sustainable, and tactile. A paper that embraces fluorescent yellow naturally, preserving the vibrancy of the color without losing its organic character.
Silver. Deep green. Cotton-white purity. Colorplan Racing Green on the exterior and Munken Print White for the body enter into dialogue with metallic printing. The raw texture of natural material and the silver sheen, opposites attract.
The edition serves as a natural continuation of the exhibition at the Museum of Cycladic Art. Splendorlux Mirror on the cover, a reflective surface that, much like Koons’ sculptures, incorporates the viewer into the work itself. Arctic Volume White 115gr for the interior - matte, tactile, with a clarity that renders the image with precision and presence. Between reflection and materiality, “Venus” enters into a dialogue with the Paleolithic “Venuses”, a journey through time that continues across the pages.
"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. In The Interviews: Volume Two by The Brand Identity - a 636-page publication featuring conversations with some of the most important studios and designers in today’s creative scene - the printed object itself becomes part of the experience. It is printed on Munken Lynx 300gsm for the cover and Munken Lynx Rough 90gsm for the interior. Α paper long associated with design publications for its tactile quality and excellent readability. Because when the audience understands the medium, paper is not just a substrate. It’s intention.
An archive becomes a book. What was once a fleeting note regains its material presence. This notebook was kept during Le Corbusier’s first journey to India, his gaze fixed on Punjab, just before the city of Chandigarh came into being.
