A harmonious layout that honors intellectual non-fiction. The cover alludes to its subject — the dawn of the democratic era. The uncoated surface softens the gold, while the blue adds an elevated touch. The typography is unsurprising yet functional. The book fits comfortably in the hand, complementing a reading experience that flows as effortlessly as the author’s text.

A handy format and a cover composed of small yet carefully arranged elements make for an eye-catching design. Instead of resorting to historicism, fresh layout solutions provide a high-quality framework for the historical content. The edge colouring and the sophisticated colour combination make the book beautiful from every angle. This ambitiously crafted work is designed with deep respect for the book as an object.

For a restaurant serving classics, a book filled with classic choices: hardcover, gold foil, string binding, and high-quality printing. The work draws insightful parallels between old Paris and 2020s Helsinki through its historical introduction and visual design, which creatively intertwines archival material with food photography.
