Art — in everyday life
This is a monograph dedicated to the Leningrad Porcelain Factory, which I designed
for the BooksMart publishing house. In the 1950–1960s, interest in white porcelain, laconic and geometric shapes returned, the products were mainly decorated with gold.
I tried to see the book as a porcelain product, inside it is white with "decoration" in gold
as a color of notes and a stripe (like a thin rim, repeated on almost all the stands
of the figures). This stripe divides the page into 2 parts: text and assistive (for notes, signatures and enlarged fragments of products). Images like porcelain figurines stand
on "shelves"–text blocks and push out the text, forming a white field around them:
as if we specially made room for them. The whiteness of the layout is supported
by the discharge in the signatures and notes arranged in a narrow column.
