This book was made by Irma Boom which was commissioned by Chanel. The 300-page book has no ink—each of the crisp white pages is embossed with a drawing or quotation, because this special printed way concentrate on a sense of touch. It’s clean, understated and ephemeral, and somehow still totally engrossing. The book allows us to see the new meaning of the book in the digital times, the active role of the designer in the publication process as well as the need for a new kind of printed book. Irma Boom reinvents the traditional book. It is hard to imagine any other individual following her footsteps, since the digital revolution entirely changed the world we are living in, but it would be interesting to observe where the journey of the printed book will continue next.
