We conducted the book design of Johannes Kühl and Johannes Greiner’s “Anthroposophische Gesellschaft und Freie Hochschule für Geisteswissenschaft” (SAKS-BOOKS). This book discusses the relationship between individuals and society from various perspectives, and works to clarify both the society and the school as well as their relationship.

We aimed to make a book design so that the book itself would function as an interior object so that it would have a function even after the reader buys the book.

The cover design clearly depicts the book’s theme with key visuals. Presenting the content of thought on a white background is uniform throughout this series. The artistic touch of paying attention to details can be seen from the arrangement of each letter to the minute gimmicks.

This book has a minimal and elegant beauty, and quietly finds its place in the reader’s life. Receiving stimulation from art, interior design, and lifestyle, a modern book design was reconstructed.
