“Lighting should be warm and welcoming: a friendly light, because good light makes you better. It’s about making people look good with the light” – Nina Masó, 2023.
Design Editions is a catalog dedicated to Nina Masó, co-founder and publisher of the firm. The publication features the creative direction of Clara Quintana Studio and Numa Merino. Oficina 200Bis handles the project management, printed ultimately at the Agpograf graphic workshop.
The book’s printing combines conventional offset technology with LED UV to achieve different finishes in the reproduction of photographs. The cover is printed on Fedrigoni Paper’s Woodstock Giallo cardboard, while the interior alternates between Unión Papelera’s Magno Gloss and Fedrigoni Paper’s Arena White Smooth. The cover includes flaps and is bound in stitched paperback.
