Design Rationale

It has been thought to be an object in addition to the initial purpose of a book. The budget being small, the publishers, independent, it was important to stand out from the usual poems publication, and trying to win the loyalty of usual buyers, as well as being known. My inspiration was Bruno Munari and his unreadable books. The cut outs of the book transforms it into an object, a trophy of collection.The process was a bit perilous, I went through a lot a prototypes, adjustments and simplifications to be able to print and cut it 100 times.
