BOOK MANIFEST by Irma Boom

オランダ人グラフィックデザイナー、イルマ・ボーム(Irma Boom)の作品集。オランダのみならず世界的にもその名が知られている作者は、その大胆かつ実験的なアプローチで評価が高く、ものとしてのデザインと、印刷された内容との2つの観点から従来のブックデザインの常識に挑戦するプロジェクトを多数手掛けている。

新しいエディションが刊行されるたびに3パーセントずつ大きくなっていく「Book Manifest」シリーズの第三弾となる本書では、本の本質、意味、関連性が視覚的に表現されている。バチカン図書館で作者行った本の発達に関する徹底的なリサーチが本書の土台となっている。自らが手掛けた350を超える本の背景や古い本との関係性について詳しく語ることによって、このリサーチで得た知識とインスピレーションを共有している。新世代のデザイナーたちに影響を与え、実験を重ねることの大切さを伝え、未来における紙の本の地位を揺るぎないものにしようという意思を感じさせる、豊富なイメージで綴る1,000ページの大作。

作者の書籍は、ニューヨーク近代美術館(MoMA)のパーマネントコレクションに収蔵され、アムステルダム大学の特別コレクションが所有する「イルマ・ボーム・アーカイブ」には全作品が収蔵されている。

World renowned Dutch designer Irma Boom is known for her bold experimental approach to her projects, often challenging the convention of traditional books in both physical design and printed content.
In the book “Book Manifest“ (the 3rd book in the series) Irma Boom presents her vision on the essence, meaning and relevance of the book. The basis for this book is formed by the in-depth research that Irma Boom carried out into the development of the book in the library of the Vatican. The knowledge she gained about this, and the inspiration it gave her, is shared with a selection of more than 350 books she designed, in which she extensively discusses the context and relationship with the old book. With this 1000-page, richly illustrated book, Irma Boom aims to inspire and encourage the new generation of designers to experiment, in order to ensure the book's position for the future.

Boom's books in the permanent collection of MoMA in New York, and Special Collections of the University of Amsterdam (NL) collect her complete oeuvre: the Irma Boom Archive.
