Octavo Pocketbook Collection

A beautifully simple collection of design and art publications by Atelier Carvalho Bernau for Amsterdam-based publishing house Octavo.

Octavo publicaties publishes classic and contemporary texts at the intersection of philosophy and art theory.

The challenge faced by the team at Atelier Carvalho Bernau was to design a paperback collection while bridging the gap between high quality, functional design at a low printing cost. Each book is uniquely different but still feel part of a collection. Typographically these books look great, simple and concise.
