The Italians - Beautiful Machines
This stunningly illustrated book takes readers on a journey through the history of Italian automotive design, showcasing some of the most iconic and beloved models from the 1920s to the early 2000s.
Soft Minimal - A Sensory Approach to Architecture and Design
Guided by the purpose of wellbeing, the essence of Norm Architects’ style is balance: richness focused by restraint, simplicity imbued with warmth, complexity heightened by order. Be it architecture, interiors, or furniture, Norm’s unique brand of soft minimalism speaks to the mind as much as the body, creating and curating spaces for all.
The first self-curated monograph by Norm Architects, Soft Minimal showcases a range of works which facilitated their establishment as key figures within Nordic design. Presenting residential and commercial projects throughout Scandinavia, Italy and Japan, Norm reflects on Nordic traditions, modernist principles, and the importance of natural materials. Exploring a creative process that makes the visual speak to all senses, the book becomes insightful, inspirational, and deeply poetic.
Designing Brands
In Designing Brands, the Creative Voyage team provides a backstage view into eight studios who produce some of the world’s most captivating visual identities. Alongside these independent agencies’ greatest projects, the book features in-depth conversations with their leaders and collaborators. This select group of industry experts shares intimate details about their processes and the art of creating with rationality, thoughtfulness, and intuition.
Designing Brands is split into chapters—discovery, direction, typography, illustration, photography, design, digital, and physical—based on the essential elements of this creative practice. But at its heart, the book is about community and the designers, strategists, animators, illustrators, stylists, photographers, and tastemakers who combine forces to bring brand universes to life.
