Pairing editorial expertise with poetry of print


Following our long-term academic partnership with Adrian Shaughnessey at The Royal College of Art, In-Col regularly collaborates with Unit Editions and SPIN Studio, designing remarkable artist books. Together, we work creatively and technically from the very beginning of a publication’s journey, be it developing the editorial identity of the publications or readying them for production.

Recent projects include Ed Fella: A Life in Images, an expansive collection of the artist’s practice reflected through the book’s equally comprehensive and detailed design. Encapsulating his vast retrospective, the design housed Fella’s eclectic body of artworks, collages, illustrations, photography and sketchbooks – maintaining editorial coherency and pacing whilst allowing each piece the space to breathe.

We exhibited similar care and expertise across the production of PENTAGRAM AT 50: LIVING BY DESIGN, an enormous retrospective of the design studio’s unparalleled practice. Following eight months of creative, production consultancy and artworking, the publication resulted in two hefty volumes spanning over 800 pages and half a century at the top of the design industry.
