We are wanderful, Milan launch/installation of a book

  • Pablo Hannon

Design Week Milan and the astonishing Clerici Atelier were chosen to launch the book We are wanderful, a remarkable creative collaboration curated by Heleen Van Loon, Christophe De Schauvre and Pablo Hannon. Rather than conceiving yet another top 10 of design, I chose to open up the concept and go for the unexpected. The result was a 400 page collection of stories, quotes, wise words and images from the back alleys of designer's past. Shoots and illustrations, typographic experiments, the project was a joy never done before. To celebrate the act of looking back at 25 years of design in Limburg Belgium (which was the challenge of the book), an exhibition (FORM) highlighted the 10 chosen 'big objects' in Genk and Roermond, and the book got an extra dimension during Design Week Milan in 2017.
