Standing out from the crowd


02. 12. 2011



Having been behind the posters of the Beirut International Arab Book Fair for more than 15 years we have been staple participants in this marker event as a design house.

This year, however, marks our first participation as a publishing house in our own right, which gave us greater relevance than ever; taking the word ‘Beirut’ as our springing point, we created a sculpture whereby the word is treated through right angles that serve as shelves for our book collection. The effect was instant, for our stand captured the attention of the event’s visitors, many people stopping initially to have their pictures taken with the live sculpture, and lingering thereof to have a look at our growing book collection.

The Book Fair took place in BIEL, from 2 till 15 December.
