We are very pleased to be involved, for another year, with the sale of 'Fedrigoni 365'. Designed by TM, for Fedrigoni UK, it is a collaboration involving 365 designers, illustrators and photographers from throughout the UK, gathered together by an open call for entries.
Each participant was asked to contribute a piece of work interpreting a date provided to them at random. Confines were established to challenge each designer’s creativity by restricting the book to one colour print, which forced their pieces to focus strictly on concept, shape and form. Through these parameters the Calendar has shaped into a beautiful visual story whose pace varies from page to page, and spread to spread. For the 2019 edition each design was printed to one of ten white sheets from Fedrigoni’s expansive collection of papers. The resulting book has a mille-feuille-like layering, from the blueish hues of X-Per Premium White to the warm tones of Materica Gesso and Old Mill Bianco. Each date has a spread of its own, giving the designs space to breathe, and the book itself an imposing size. The resulting white tome is part numeral muse, part source of historic facts and part thing of beauty. 500 copies of the book will be sold with profits going to Shelter.
