Lubalin is in the air x
It's finally arrived!
We've been waiting for years for a book that celebrates this incredibly influential designer and typographer and were beside ourselves to hear a few months ago that the brilliant folk at Unit Editions were to release a limited edition deluxe monograph.
After waiting patiently it arrived today and we couldn't be more impressed - oohs, aahs and possibly a few squeals were heard throughout Fitzroy as we were met with the book's brown packaging. The book itself is beautifully laid out and comprehensive, intricately covering Lubalin's career in full and sharing working drawings of some of his most iconic work.
We've become huge fans of Unit Editions. We first picked up 'Wim Crouwell - A Graphic Odyssey' (which they have also created an app for & is well worth checking out) last year when we were at the Design Museum in London and have been getting their insightful and beautifully crafted works shipped over to our fair shores ever since. We've even set aside a bookshelf in the library of our new studio (pics to be shared shortly....!) for what is bound to be an on going infatuation.
If you get the chance, grab a copy of this stunning book celebrating the work of an incredible designer.
