By Coralie Bickford-Smith. She writes:
"These titles explore my obsession to create beautiful, timeless artefacts for people to enjoy, cherish and pass on. Sumptuous, tactile books that evoke a rich heritage of bookbinding while retaining fresh appeal to modern readers; that both stand out in bookshops and have a longevity appropriate to the contents."
Hardcover editions. Special, luxury books.
I have noticed this new trend of redesigning classic books in various bookstores. Many books contain repeating mortifies, which reflect the content - be it obvious or metaphorical - of the books.
She typically uses only two colours. These are complimentary colours, typically picked to reflect the mood and content of the books she designs for.
