Grand Egyptian Museum

The research and exploration process led to a rich identity inspired by the basic shapes of ancient Egyptian alphabets.

The Moment

The Moment Calendar was inspired by the ancient wisdom of Chinese Solar Terms and Ecclesiastes in Bible, which aim to express the reflection of impetuous society and remind people to know the season and to enjoy the moment.

The printing color of the inside of the books is two-tone - black and intense red. Otinid binding allows to open the book flat, which makes it easier to read.
