De L'air
editorial design
The result of the ninth collection of photographs from La Conserverie, an archive, “De l’air” offers a wide range of images where a little wind makes hats fly
For this new collaboration with Anne Delrez, the venue's director, we are offering a massive book featuring all the photographs from the collection: 177 images, 360 pages.
The cover features all the people who lent us one or more of their photographs. We're also having fun with 8 different covers! The photographs on the covers play with the grid, and move around the format according to where the wind in the image comes from.
The book's thickness allows us to invest the spine and its visible stitched spine with lettering that occupies the entire height. Quite a technical challenge! Managing the imposition, the placement of stitches, anticipating shifts during finishing... A highly precise job carried out in collaboration with the team from our Marseille-based partner, CCI imprimerie.
The book's format is chosen to minimize paper waste, and thus its carbon footprint.
Its pages, printed on 90g/m2 paper, create a contrast of solidity and lightness. De l'air is conceived as a book whose pages lift and flutter. A book to fan yourself with. A book whose leaves create air.
