Inktvissers Kristin Wuyts and Marie Verdurmen dig up entertaining quotes and juicy anecdotes from the past. The stories form the basis and common thread for a new anniversary book. ‘We interviewed dozens of people. That’s how you find things out,’ says Kristin.
Kristin: ‘They are micro-stories: sometimes funny, sometimes endearing and moving. They give the reader a picture of the past and the culture, without necessarily giving everything away.’
Binding method: Swiss binding
For this binding method, we started with a thread-sewn book block. The cover was wrapped in red linen and then (only) glued to the third page of the cover. This ensures that when you open the book, you can see the sewn spine. The red thread used to sew the sections together also forms a graphic element in the interior. This creates a nice interaction between the design of the book itself and the design on the pages. Great thinking by the Inktvissers!
