The Shopmodern Condition
Book design
Typography
The Shopmodern Condition, written by Linda Rampell, conveys a critical viewpoint on contemporary design capitalism. To materialize the gist of the content, the book is designed as a sophisticated object of desire with the tactile qualities of craft.
To bedazzle, the copper hot-foil of the cover is embossed into black silk cloth. The embossed pattern suggests different interpretations – such as a mental labyrinth of shopping, a bar code out of joint, or a secret code to be deciphered during reading.
