Louis Vuitton: Yayoi Kusama, 1

Credits & Description:

An artist book to celebrate the Louis Vuitton-Yayoi Kusama 2012 collaboration, and inspired by Kusama’s symbolic polka dots that represent the ‘self-obliteration’ of one’s ego. Aside from silkscreen and die-cut production methods, the three-fold cover uses three different materials, including a paper that resembles the Louis Vuitton paper bag, and also a canvas material. The latter depicts the art canvas that Kusama uses for her drawings. The inside pages are printed on a paper stock that is meaningful to WORK, and successfully used for many of our print projects.Client: Louis Vuitton JapanDesigner Geraldine Chua Ernest Ho MAA Farah SimanDesign Director Theseus ChanPhotographer Kishin Shinoyama Jean Marc Cedile Bruno AsselotPublishing Company Louis Vuitton JapanDesign Agency WORKPrinters AlsOdoMinieProducers ASHU NAKANISHIYA
