Cane MinoreUniversità Iuav di Venezia
Cane Minore is a series of paperback books designed to support people in processing the loss of a pet, particularly a dog.
Each volume is designed to encourage a gentle and reflective approach to the theme of grief, offering narrative texts, poems, essays and stories that help the reader come to terms with their grief.
The books have a 10×15 cm format, easy to carry around, and use an acetate dust jacket to protect them from wear and tear.
The choice of papers, such as Arena Natural Rough and Sirio Smooth Colour, gives a tactile sensation of quality and durability, reflecting the intention to accompany the reader even in the most intimate and personal moments.
The series incorporates a selection of colours that respect a sober colour palette, evoking calm and respect for the subject matter.
Each book is also structured to be a means of commemoration, paying homage to the unique bond between human and animal.
