The Art of Sitting | Publication

This project is special to me because it combines two of my favorite design periods with a topic that I am passionate about. As I have a minor in Wood Furniture Design, I created a book about Mid-Century Modern chairs in an Art-Deco-inspired design style. From start to finish, this publication utilizes geometric and ornate details to make the featured chairs and designers pop and draw the readers in. It was a great experience for me to highlight the history and context that went into the M.C.M. design style with the added twist of doing so in homage to a completely contrasting period. This publication was also my first experience with bookbinding and I enjoyed getting to learn about and execute that process as well.
