50 books | 50 Covers

exhibition design 2026

"50 Books x 50 Covers" was an exhibition commissioned by AIGA. Our group faced the challenge of showcasing 100 beautiful books within the exhibition space in a way that felt intentional rather than overwhelming. We landed on an indexical system that organized the books into a kind of spatial glossary: each book was marked with a numbered sticker from 1 to 100, giving visitors a clear way to navigate the space. On the wall, we displayed details generated from the submitted books, letting people flip through and get a closer sense of each publication's content. We also designed a large plotted drape poster presenting all 100 books as a literal index, and compiled nearly 50 videos of the books being paged through into a looping projection.
