Concept development, art direction and graphic design for AKA brand book.
The book aims to tell the story of AKA, the American hospitality brand, retracing the evolution of the company up to its collaboration with Piero Lissoni and the development of AKA NoMad in New York and AKA Alexandria close by Washington D.C.
Far more than a simple company profile, the publication presents a story that reveals the philosophy of the brand and its very distinctive idea of hotels and hospitality through texts, interviews, quotations, anecdotes and images.
The volume is conceived as a precious object defined by a modern typeface and elegant paper.
Closed format 22.5 x 28.5 cm (h).
Board of 2 mm Sirio color cashmere card, hot-stamped in black.
Bodonian, thread-sewn binding with a cloth spine.
Opening pages printed in silver on Sirio Cacao pulp-dyed paper.
