The 12th of April 2010 marks the end of a 6 months labour of LOVE with the launch of ‘Korpi & Gordon X10’, the book we have created for contemporary Scandinavian textile designers Korpi & Gordon.
The book celebrates 10 years of Adam Gordon and Maria Korpi’s textiles showcased in context of an eclectic palette of their inspirations including favourite foods, aromas, music, places, designs, words etc.
The project came about as result of a long-term friendship between LOVE copywriter Dave Bevan and Adam Gordon and his wife and creative partner Maria Korpi.
The book was designed and photographed by LOVE designer Emma Morton, following her and Dave’s whirlwind study visit to Stockholm and the Ålandic Archipelago in the autumn of 2009.
The Korpi & Gordon x10 launch party, will take place at the renowned Scandinavian design store Malmstenbutiken and expects around 250 guests including design press and other important folks from the Scandinavian design community.
The Malmsten store is home to many classic designs by ‘Carl Malmsten’ the father of the Scandinavian Arts and Crafts movement.
With this in mind we felt it only right to leave a fittingly ‘crafty’ LOVE business card at the launch event, this like almost every page of the book is, as we speak, being lovingly and single-handedly-crafted, by Em.
Looks great…
nice one, Em!
