The design of this book pays tribute to the unique world of Pierre Sala (1948–1989). The layout, inspired by his theatrical background, plays with words and spaces to evoke stage and movement. Two distinct typefaces, Janson Text and Hauser – one literary, the other more graphic – reflect the duality of his work between narrative and visual expressiveness. The color palette, inspired by the 1980s, with vivid and contrasting hues, captures the energy and originality of his creations, such as the Piranha chair and the Clairefontaine notebook desk.
The monograph was published by Éditions Hors Champ. See more images on the website of Mathilde Lambert who worked on the book’s design with and for Undo-Redo.
