Le Cabinet Salon

“Le Cabinet Salon” is an imaginary multidisciplinary office that looks to provide a platform for learning, a circle of reflection, of experiences and of knowledge; the territory from which springs the unexpected. Le Cabinet Salon acts as an archive of books of all sorts, and is most fascinated by encyclopedias, each one as different and exciting as the next. It is open-minded and driven by a variety of unexpected themes, giving into to the pleasure of conversation and taking pleasure in their curiosity. The project aims to explore different types of possible classifications and tools to navigate through a bookshop.

The typography makes use of Masqualero, a high contrast display typeface that comes with a prismatic weight named Masqualero Groove (designed by Jim Ford and released at Monotype 2017), and Toshna, a revival of Tschörtner-Antiqua (1955) by ASType.
