It's here… and it's both tiny and huge. 'Irma Boom: Book Manifest' is appropriately experimental for the renowned Dutch book designer—a miniature manifesto for the endless possibilities of the book form.⁠ ⁠ 2.5 x 3 inches, 1000 pages, 500 color reproductions.⁠ ⁠ In 'Book Manifest,' @irma_boom_amsterdam presents her vision on the essence, meaning and relevance of the book. Based on the in-depth research that Boom conducted into the development of the book in the library of the Vatican, 'Book Manifest' is at once a survey of the history of the book and a miniature Irma Boom retrospective, reproducing a selection of more than 350 books she has designed over the course of her eminent career. ⁠ ⁠ Alongside reproductions, Boom extensively discusses the relationship between her work and older book forms.⁠ With this tiny (2.5 x 3 inches), slipcased, 1,000-page, richly illustrated volume, itself an exceptional feat of bookmaking, Boom aims to inspire and encourage a new generation of designers to experiment and develop new ways of conceiving this simplest and most enduringly effective of forms.⁠ ⁠ Read more via linkinbio.⁠ ⁠ #irmaboom #irmaboombookmanifest #irmaboomtinybook #irmaboomretrospective #irmaboommanifesto #bookmanifest #tinybook #graphicdesign #bookdesign https://www.instagram.com/p/CmpW8IMJC4J/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
