They Read #01: Notes on Book Design
Notes on Book Design is a book by Formal Settings containing a collection of 50 texts, based on books from the collection of Hopscotch Reading Room in Berlin.
The texts draw parallels between the book as a design object and the cultural movements, political landscapes and economic conditions under which it was created.
The 50 texts are paired with our introduction, a foreword by Hopscotch Reading Room and an afterword in which designer, author and educator Prem Krishnamurthy offers additional framing and perspective to the project.
We’re excited that we are able to discuss the book together with Siri Lee Lindskrog and Amanda-Li Kollberg from Formal Settings and her their thoughts on it!
