Exhibition


In this exhibition, Luis Royal raises a series of questions on the work of Coralie Bickford-Smith for Penguin Books, in relation to the theme Useless: “In a technology era, when e-books get more and more readers, what sense does it make to continue designing and producing paper books?”; “Can design transform a book into an object, with a memory and a life, close to our objects’ reality?”; “What motivates Coralie, a young designer, to pursue languages of other times and transform them into book covers? Can the classics still have a new and contemporary approach in our virtual society? And how useful can they be?”
