Custom Jackets – Simple Modern Designs

Posted on 11. May, 2011 by in Blog, Recent Projects

2011 has been a very creative and fun year so far.  I’ve had the good fortune of doing projects with numerous homeowners and interior designers around the world.  While still a niche product, the people who are finding our custom designed and printed book jackets love them, and they are making a big difference in how their homes, bookshelves, libraries look.  We even did a fun project recently for the library of a yacht, bringing elegance and coordination to their library of travel guides.

One of the most popular styles I have introduced are  book jackets in solid colors with bold titles on the spines.  I love these because they create a really clean and unified look for bookshelves, bookcases and entire rooms.  Most of the photos in this gallery are in this style.  We can print them in any color / typeface combination.

Another cool new concept I have created is to put big bold letters on each book spine that have book titles and authors within them.  This gives the books a very clean modern appearance, it is a wonderful way to delineate sections within a library as well.

Designers and homeowners have requested specific pantone colors, sent us paint or carpet colors to match, etc. – I love the challenge of making books look great.

One of the main tenets of my philosophy about selling books and creating libraries is that you don’t have to accept books as they are but you also don’t have to pick your books just by color.   If you love your books and want to keep them but they don’t fit in to your design, I can change how they look.  If you want to start from scratch, I will assemble a collection of books in the exact subjects and sizes you would like, and make custom book covers for them so they are perfect for your space.
