This compilation showcases the limitless possibilities of letter forms transformed into 3D objects of art. Explore the fusion of the familiar and the extraordinary as designers push the boundaries of perception and creativity. Discover the freedom from rules and guidelines, the integration of AI and advanced software tools and the exploration of texture, transparency, volume, form and colour.

With remarkable works by talented designers and insightful project descriptions, this book is both a handy source of inspiration and a snap shot of uncharted territory.

The softbound book has 200 pages measuring 190×265mm.

Alex Chavot created the designs for the 10th anniversary of concert venue Petit Bain in Paris (“10 piges” is French slang for “10 years”). The design is built around a key visual from which the ten concert events – taking place all year round to celebrate – are derived. For each event, the name of the artists are set in a tight composition and a completely new surrealistic visual is created with “pieces” from the main poster.

Good Girl by Marion Bisserier (Type Department) is paired with Yoann Minet’s Clifton (205TF) and Practical Grotesk (Apex Type Foundry, designed by Alex Chavot).
