Irma Boom, SVH Think Book
In Residence Feb 15 - 25
Lecture Wednesday Feb 23 @ 6 pm - Art Auditorium
Dutch Graphic Designer Irma Boom has concentrated on book design for most of her career. She is known for designing an experience of reading that reflects the contents and authors of her books. In 1996, she was commissioned to design SVH's centenary Think Book. It has 2,136 pages, with no page numbers or index, and is printed on a paper Boom invented to suit the haptic experience of discovery through coincidence. Her design of Shelia Hicks: Weaving as a Metaphor was awarded the gold medal for "Most Beautiful Book in the World" at the Liepzig Book Fair in 2007.
