AIGA 50 Books | 50 Covers Award

We are proud to announce that the special project 50+30: 25 Kinds of Design, developed by Lissoni Graphx for Living Divani, is winner of the 2020 AIGA Awards in the Book category.

A collector's book that takes an ironic approach to narrating the 50 years of the Company and the 30 years of Piero Lissoni as art director, turning it into a game where every product that has formed the history of Living Divani becomes a character. A specific graphic treatment was applied to each page: manual processing, screen printing, colourings and stickers alternate with paper pop-ups that introduce each decade from the 1970s to the present day.

Juror Comments “This is a beautifully designed book that takes us through a 50-year period in such an invigorating way. Through the use of stunning paper pop-ups, minimal type and colorful images 50+30: 25 Kinds of Design is more than just a book and is a sculptural object that celebrates both Piero Lissoni and Living Divani with style.” - Kelly Walters
