Best Book Design from All over the World 2022
Every year, Stiftung Buchkunst awards the Best Book Design from All over the World. The books are selected by an international jury. The winners and nominees are then presented in a catalog that is sent to all participating countries. In 2022, Anna Pirot from Bureau Mitte was invited to develop the editorial design for the catalog, as well as the material concept, the concept for the folding technique and the visual book presentation.
She used a great mix of Synt by Kaj Lehmann and Repro by Erkin Karamemet, both released by and available at Dinamo Typefaces. The catalog was printed on thin paper by Grammlich Offsetprint.
The design concept was also applied for the exhibition of the awarded books at the Hönnunarsafn Íslands Museum of Design and Applied Art in Iceland. The effect of the thin paper used is echoed in the overlapping wall print.
