Stephen Shore: From Galilee to the Negev — Stephen Shore's document of Israel is a rare observation by an "outsider". It is a search, but it is also a wayfinding. Shore's discoveries are remarkably accurate - they display the surge in which the daily life moves in this tiny yet versatile place, the cluster and the loneliness, with its beautiful ugliness, and its ethnic diversity that loads the country. When leaving the Ben Gurion airport, the first noticeable artifacts are the road signs in Hebrew, English and Arabic. These signs are intriguing when are observed for the first time, but they are, in a way, an illusion of something greater that could exist there. Shore spots that illusion in his photography and exhibits this far-from-harmonic ethnic diversity that is politically charged and is the heart of the ongoing struggle of everyone who is part of it. He puts reality on display. The cover of this book is blocked on a 3M reflecting material used for road signs, and all the navigational elements in this book (title, contents page, chapter openers) are set in a trilingual cut of the font Gravur Condensed in English, Hebrew, and Arabic.

Where Chefs Eat: A Guide to Chefs Favourite Restaurants — A worldwide restaurant guide collecting recommendations from acclaimed international chefs. The mountainous volume of information in this lightweight bulky tome details about 2,300 restaurants around the world. The brief for the book came in a the form of a long list of sales blurbs, and the typographic solution was inspired by 1960's British phone books featuring ads on any possible real estate of the book - the front cover, spine, back cover, and paper edges. The entire book was printed with a single ink - Process Black, and all 704 pages are composed entirely out of typography and cartography.

René Redzepi - A Work in Progress — A documentation of a year at the acclaimed Copenhagen-based restaurant, Noma.

The design concept, following the narrative of 'collecting', suggested splitting the publication into three different printed matter: the journal — a soft bound notebook, containing only Redzepi's text, and flat-photographed plants, printed like 'pressed' flowers between the journal's pages; the recipes book — a classic, linen-covered hardback containing ingredient shots and food shots taken by photographer Ditte Isager; the snapshots book — a small format, roughly the size of a smartphone, containing 188 photos, laid out in a way that forces the viewer to rotate the little book from vertical to horizontal format, reflecting the browse through a smartphone photo library.
