Print by Veronica Ditting in Japan

The work of creative director and designer Veronica Ditting is being shown at a new exhibition in Kyoto, Japan. The show is titled ‘Folio Folio Folio: Print by Veronica Ditting’ and it celebrates her influential career so far by bringing together a variety of her print work from the last 20 years. The content includes a variety of printed materials, including books, magazines, other publications, and exhibition designs. The custom made exhibition stands designed for this exhibition are set up at different heights and orientations, allowing the works to be viewed from various perspectives, thereby highlighting the materiality and three-dimensionality of the works. The printed materials collected in the gallery create a landscape, highlighting the essential characteristics of Veronica's work as a collective.

The exhibition – curated by London-based design historian Emily King – spans two decades of print projects including her time at The Gentlewoman where she worked for 12 years together with other influential printed matter for the world’s biggest brands.

The custom made exhibition stands have all been made by hand at Studio Veronica Ditting in London using SUMO White 1.5mm which is made by Favini and supplied by Fenner Paper!

Simone Rocha - Gorse

Simone Rocha was born in Dublin, Ireland in 1986. In 2008 she graduated with a BA in Fashion from The NCAD in Dublin followed by an MA from Central Saint Martins in 2010. Simone debuted at London Fashion Week in September 2010 and her collections can be found in some of the most prestigious stockists in the world.

This year at the British Fashion Awards Simone received the “British Womenswear Designer Award” as well as the 2016 Harper’s Bazaar Designer of Year Award.

This publication is a limited edition book produced in collaboration with photographer Colin Dodgson in Ireland. Titled "Gorse", the scale is a luxuriously large 303x420mm, landscape format, which flops and rolls beautifully.

Front Cover....

There is lots of white space, a very uncluttered feeling.

The publication is printed offset litho on our Omnia White 120gsm, the result is superb. The look and feel of the whole publication is very uncoated and tactile but there is absolutely no loss of detail in the images.The feeling of space continues with many unprinted pages...

It is bound using three hole sewing in a red thread. Actually this has two rows of three hole sewing. Below is the centre spread, showing the binding on the inside. 

Detail showing the binding (inside)...

Below pic shows detail of the three hole sewing on the spine:

So successful was this publication that many of the images were used as campaign imagery in titles such as Dazed and Confused, The Gentlewoman and Self Service.

Design is by Simmonds. Print production, including the binding is by Pureprint.
