Jonathan Adler Book

Celebrity designer Jonathan Adler’s book is a vibrant, hilarious mash-up of style bible, decorating tome, and self-help guide. In gorgeous, full-color spreads, 100 bold ideas for Happy Chic dwelling, decorating, and entertaining are revealed. As a bonus, five project gatefolds invite readers to create their own Happy Chic handicrafts, including a macramé owl and custom LOVE note cards.

For this fun and informative coffee table book, we closely collaborated with celebrated graphic designer Matthias Ernstberger to design each colorful and expressive layout. Staying true to Jonathan Adler’s “happy chic” vibe of mid-century modern design, we created assorted, distinct seals that use a typographical combination of Eloquent and Bella to give it a fun, retro touch. The play on typography found throughout the book represents the author’s lively and unexpected creations.
