VINTAGE MURAKAMI

Murakami’s new backlist design uses the circle as a central motif and the palette is limited to red, black and off-white. This creates a strong and consistent identity for the set. 

Murakami’s work has a sense that something has been lost or hidden, what is real and what is not. To match this playfulness for the covers, we commissioned Noma Bar, a talented Israeli-born and London-based illustrator. His powerful graphic illustrations cleverly utilise negative space concealing secondary images and illusions. Noma’s illustrations were screenprinted by hand to give them a personal and softer edge.

Noma Bar is represented by Dutch Uncle and can be found here.

Covers Illustrated by Noma Bar (except Birthday Stories and Blind Willow, Sleeping Woman).

Give these all to me, please.

    should all live in America rather than the UK, where book covers are invariably awful.
