Description
With Libroinfinito, Italian industrial designer Guilio Iacchetti sought to create a book that would be “inadmissible” on a shelf. The letters of the Latin alphabet are fanned out to generate an infinite, circular reading experience, paying tribute to the 26 symbols that give form to Italian literature. Through the book’s visibility and presence, Iacchetti draws attention to the meticulous craftsmanship of the books produced by Tallone Editore, all typeset by hand and letterpress printed in one of the oldest and most prestigious typographic studios in the world. The Grolier Club copy is one of six produced on handmade Umbria paper.
