Paolo Buffa's Personal MasterpiecesTina De Souter Bookdesign
Paolo Buffa was a prominent figure in the realm of Italian furniture design and architecture. This publication examines a distinctive and intimate furniture collection custom-designed by the artist, consisting of unique, one-of-a-kind pieces.
This booklet exclusively showcases the work of Buffa that was for sale by Morentz Gallery, NL.
The booklet is printed on warm-toned, thin Arena Rough paper and has a ‘double’ cover. The inside paper of the cover is Sirio Color Cherry and the outside is Woodstock Betulla. This colour combination references one of his wooden cabinets with red velvet lining.
The cover was cut using his distinctive waved line he uses in the furniture of this specifi collection. The title on the cover was embossed in a brwon, metallic hotfoil. All books were bound by hand using a singerstitch by a local bookbinder in Belgium.
