Design Is... Book
Design is... Book is a significant artistic and cultural publication that emerged from a groundbreaking exhibition during São Paulo Design Week 2016, representing a comprehensive exploration of design philosophy through multiple perspectives. This limited edition, bilingual book serves as a remarkable compilation of design definitions from two hundred influential figures in Brazilian design, including curators, critics, journalists, entrepreneurs, and designers, each contributing their unique interpretation of what design encompasses. The book's distinctive square format, measuring 300 x 300 x 25mm, draws inspiration from the classic Love is figurines and employs sophisticated production techniques including offset printing, silk screening, and relief work. Its innovative design features eight color-coded sections with portrait-style photography, incorporating special round cuts that create depth and require 90-degree rotations during reading, fostering an interactive experience. The publication stands out for its meticulous attention to detail, utilizing premium papers and advanced printing techniques to achieve superior production quality. This Silver A' Design Award-winning work in the Graphics, Illustration and Visual Communication Design category represents a collaborative celebration of design culture, successfully translating a spatial exhibition concept into print format while maintaining its conceptual integrity. The book's unique approach to presenting multiple perspectives on design, limited to hundred characters per contribution, creates a constellation of ideas that collectively forms a rich tapestry of design philosophy, making it a valuable resource for design professionals, students, and enthusiasts alike.
