The Best Dutch Book Designs 2022

Every year, The Best Dutch Book Designs celebrates the best products of the graphic industry in the Netherlands: 33 books made with heart and soul. The catalogue The Best Dutch Book Designs 2022 was designed by Akiko Wakabayashi: “I wanted to do something with the interaction between the book and the human body. I asked photographer/artist Marie Déhé to make the photographs because of her style: it shows warmth and softness. I tried to emphasize the idea of the interaction between book and human body with the structure of the book. It is divided by chapters that relate to our interaction with a book, like ‘meet the book’, ‘open the book’ and ‘talk about the book’.”
