Lower East was at the book fair “BogForum“ in Copenhagen last weekend – had to sneak by and take a first glance at the new book we have designed; “Vi mødes i Brugsen“ (See you in Coop, it could be translated into).
The very same morning the book got a very good review in one of the major danish newspapers; Politiken – five hearts out of six! (you can see the review below here, sorry only in the danish).
The new book has the same formate as the “FDB-Møbler“ (furnitures from Coop), we designed last year. The two books teamed up nicely at the fair. Both books are published by Samvirke in cooperation with Strandberg Publishing, you can find them in book stores all over Denmark.
Lower East love designing books
New book – will be published this week, November 4th. “Vi mødes i Brugsen“, the story behind the danish Coop. Written by Kristian Ditlev Jensen, published by Samvirke, designed by Lower East. 300-and-something pages, lots of pics. Written in the danish.
Get a sneak peak here; the cover and some fine spreads from the book.
Furniture for the people
The full story about the danish “FDB Møbler“ (translated: Coop Furniture) – from the early start in 1942 until today, where a handful of the furniture classics has been put into production again.
The book is written (in danish) by professor at Copenhagen Business School and professor of modern Danish history, Per H. Hansen.
We at Lower East, was hired to do the graphic design of the book, and as we really do love designing books, do love many of the classics from the rich danish collection of furnitures and found the story very interesting, the job was just a thrill. We think you can see that when you check and read the book.
You can buy the book in bookstores in Denmark, in Coop supermarkets and of course somewhere on the world wide web.
Here we show the frontpage and some double spreads from the book.
More info (in the danish) here.
