Rose Cumming
For the first illustrated autobiography of one of the founders of interior design, only a stylish and protective Slipcase would do. Sought after by the Duke and Duchess of Windsor, Andy Warhol, Jacqueline Onassis, and Marlene Dietrich, Rose Cumming was famed for her flamboyant interiors and blending of contrasting aesthetics from gothic to baroque to oriental. Written by Jeffery Simpson, renowned author and editor of Architectural Digest, this heirloom edition was sold in a paperboard slipcase wrapped in Sierra. The elegant natural fabric cover was embellished with a clear foil stamp on both sides.
Ralph Steadman
This print portfolio was created to house a collection of limited edition Ralph Steadman prints entitled Dog Bodies. This traditional Overflap Folio is constructed of Eska board wrapped with Brillianta book cloth, a premium 100% natural fiber cover material from Ecological Fiber, Inc. The folio features a corresponding interior cover pocket of uncoated white paper, a foil stamp decoration, and a ribbon closure.
Metropolitan Museum of Art
To commemorate the historic monographic show of artist Paul Gauguin’s work at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York, the museum published a book with the shows title Gauguin in New York Collections: The Lure of the Exotic. This collectors edition art book was housed in a paperboard slipcase wrapped in deep orange Brillianta. The cover features a debossed panel tipped with an offset printed image from the show of a seated nude, and a grey hot stamp identifying the show’s patron SUEZ, the energy corporation.
Vanishing Venice
Vanishing Venice is a small edition fine art photography book of poetic text and calligraphic illustrations by Carolyn Carlson, an American-born contemporary dancer, choreographer, poet and calligrapher. Co-authored with Hal Eastman, this box set of Vanishing Venice also included 10 signed 12″ x 12″ fine art prints from the book. The Deluxe Clamshell construction that held the set was made of paperboard and wrapped in Halflinnen Dutch Sailcloth, made by Van Heek in Holland and imported by Ecological Fibers. The cover featured a blind deboss of the title.
Princeton University Press
For added panache, Princeton University chose a custom Slipcase for their donor gift copy of First X, Then Y, Now Z, by John Delaney. Made with a solid construction of wood and Eska Board, this slipcase is wrapped in the linen-feel, 100% natural fiber Brillianta bookcloth by Ecological Fibers Inc, and features a deeply recessed area on the front for their printed label.
