The luminous, iridescent shades of green, black and brown lend the volume an almost mineral-like depth, reminiscent of weathered stone or a precious patina. Longitudinal, partly curved gold-embossed lines and dots add sparkling accents and dynamically guide the eye across the covers. This creates a compelling dialogue between austere verticality and organic movement. The work of Dave Clark, Highland Binder, combines masterful craftsmanship with contemporary artistic design.
