Pentagram Papers is a multi-disciplinary, independently owned design studio.

According to their website: "Our work encompasses graphics and identity, strategy and positioning, products and packaging, exhibitions and installations, websites and digital experiences, advertising and communications, data visualizations and typefaces, sound and motion. Our 23 partners are all practicing designers, and whether working collaboratively or independently, they do so in friendship.

Our structure is unique. We are the only major design studio where the owners of the business are the creators of the work and serve as the primary contact for every client. This reflects our conviction that great design cannot happen without passion, intelligence and — above all — personal commitment, and is demonstrated by a portfolio that spans five decades, many industries, and clients of every size."

Pentagram has produced a series of signature annual documents, known as Pentagram Papers, exclusively for clients and colleagues since 1975. Each Paper explores a unique and curious topic of interest to the Pentagram designers.

#29: As described by Pentagram, "The Savoy was the first fully electrified hotel when it opened in 1889 and, while there as part of his commission to create a new graphic identity in the 1990s, John Rushworth noticed that many of the original light fittings remained. True to the understanding of Richard D'Oyly Carte, who built the hotel, lighting had always been used theatrically to create an appropriately luxurious ambiance."

In very good condition and a perfect addition to any lover of graphic design. less
