The Classic of Tea

The Classic of Tea is a book design based on the earliest known written record of tea. The book and its packaging are made entirely of beech wood. The central title is carved in red copper. Each page is a wooden panel that can be removed and viewed separately. The lid opens from the middle towards both sides, so the complete book can be lifted out. The pages are produced with a laser engraving machine and paint. The choice of materials refers to ancient Chinese culture, which was recorded on bamboo, wood and bronze, the same materials linked to early tea culture.

Off Screen Audio

Off Screen Audio is a book that presents oil paintings inspired by Chinese opera. The cover uses a laser hollow-out process, so the shapes of the drama appear directly on the surface of the book. The title lettering is built from dots, lines and planes, and forms a symbol of sound. The book measures 190 by 210 millimetres and is bound with lock wire in a false hardcover. The outer cover and the back cover use high density grey board with matte silver hot stamping. The design aims to express the spirit of traditional Chinese culture.
