In 2005, when he was a British School resident in Rome, Toby Glanville made a series of photographs. In 2019, Atelier Dyakova designed a book about this Roma series, using Almeria. The book remained unpublished. From the studio’s website:

Toby Glanville’s photographs have been published and exhibited internationally and are held in collections including the Victoria & Albert Museum, London; The Bruce Bernard Collection; The British Council & The National Portrait Gallery, London.

Classical literature publications inspire the design. The textured card of the cover resonates with the warm terracotta of Roman architecture.

Les Savoir-faire de la mode: Sources / The Crafts of Fashion: Sources covers various issues relating to know-how in fashion design and raises the crucial question of sources. From publisher Éditions 42:

Fashion encompasses a vast array of professions and crafts, and as many singular histories; how can we think about this object of study when faced with the diversity of the practices that make it up? Plaiters, tailors, embroiderers, and other model makers, often anonymous, animate the worlds of fashion and their technical cultures, but how is this technical knowledge, which is also “knowledge of the body”, studied, preserved, and transmitted? This volume looks at the existing anthropological and historical traditions in this field, and examines current methodological innovations that enable us to understand this dynamic, little-explored area of research.

The contributions that make up this book were given in the form of lectures as part of the research seminar Chaire CHANEL et le19M des savoir-faire de la mode at the Institut français de la mode.

The book was published in French and English editions. It was edited by Émilie Hammen, with translations by Phoebe Hadjimarkos Clarke, has 232 pages and measures 190×250 mm.

Cover of the English edition

In 2022, studio deValence started a new collaboration with Reporters sans frontières (Reporters Without Borders) for the art direction and design of their Album collection. The first edition of this new collaboration celebrates Patrick Chauvel’s work as a war photographer.

Thirty years ago, Reporters Without Borders published the first issue of its “100 Pictures for Press Freedom” series. The cover featured a young war photographer who had been seriously wounded in Cambodia while reporting on a story. The man with the brown curls in that iconic image was Patrick Chauvel. Thirty years later, RSF has chosen to pay tribute to this legend of the profession.

The typefaces used by deValence are Mercury (by Hoefler & Co.), Almeria, Smithee Extra Condensed (both by Apex Type Foundry), and Dada Grotesk (by Optimo). 144 p., 210×280 mm.

Soutenir – Ville, architecture et soin (“Support – City, architecture and care”) was published by Pavillon de l’Arsenal at the occasion of their homonymous exhibition. Words from the publisher’s website (translated from the French with DeepL):

The history of care, and the history of the places of care that accompany it, is a history of support; the history of places and architectures that hold and support us, rather than detain or contain us - even if the history of these places, those containing rather than holding, is to be told at the same time, for it is in fact often the same. Several of the examples in this book illustrate this ambivalence, such as a bucolic sanatorium built in the Vexin Forest in the 1930s, and transformed a few years later into an internment camp. This book reports, in seven complementary times and whose order does not count so much, seven dimensions of the history of the relations between care, city and architecture.

The book was edited by Cynthia Fleury (philosopher and psychoanalyst) and SCAU (architects’ collective) and designed by deValence, using Dutch 811 (Bitstream), Almeria (Apex Type Foundry), and F Grotesk (RP Digital Foundry). It has 304 pages and measures 250×300 mm.

All dressed in chrome and fluo, Hugo Capron is the first monographic work on the French artist Hugo Capron. Without front or back, its layout is based on a rigorous central symmetry: the French and English texts, the series of texts and photographs, all echo each other on both sides of the book, referring to the mirrors, repetitions and reflections which can be found in Hugo Capron’s work.

Designed by Atelier Tout va bien, 170×235 mm, 64 pages, 400 copies, bilingual. The book is produced with the support of the DRAC Bourgogne-Franche-Comté, Adhex Technologies, Centre d’art contemporain Passages and Interface gallery, Dijon (France).

From a series of posters designed by deValence for La Commune – Centre dramatique national in Aubervilliers, France.
