Doverie – A Book for the Future
The Doverie 2060 Book is a carefully crafted time capsule of thought—designed to preserve the visions and predictions of leading intellectuals over the future of society. My approach to its design and art direction reflects both the weight of its content and the Doverie’s philosophy: “Talking calmly in future tense.”
To embody the book’s significance and ensure its durability over decades, fine leather was ideal for the cover, conveying a sense of permanence and prestige. The embossed “2060” logo subtly but powerfully marks the year the book will be opened, reinforcing its role as a bridge between the past and the future.
Inside, special offset paper enhances the reading experience, offering both durability and an elegant tactile quality. The layout balances clarity and depth, guiding the reader through 640 pages of carefully selected insights, with typography that complements both the weight of historical documentation and the fluidity of future-oriented thought.
Art Direction
The visual language of the book is designed to reflect timeless sophistication, avoiding trends that may fade with time. The color palette is monochrome, preserving the intellectual weight of the book while ensuring readability and longevity. Subtle graphic elements and a strong typographic approach are woven throughout the pages, reinforcing the philosophical importance and timelessness.
As designer and art director, my goal was to create not just a book, but an object of lasting significance – one that would be rediscovered in 2060 as a testament to foresight, trust, and the power of carefully considered ideas.
