"Disorder in Progress" Book
This is the second book that I have published through Die-Gestalten Verlag. For this book I have created the concept, invited all of the participants, edited, designed the cover and elements for the interior.

As a follow-up to the success of the Brasil-Inspired Book, Disorder in Progress shows the contrary and adopts the slogan of the national flag "Ordem e Progresso" ("Order and Progress"). It compiles original works by local and internationally renowned designers, Inspired by their tensions with Brazilian local issues ranging from bureaucracy to large scale political corruption to more violent and harsh issues. It intends to provide a playground where their ideas and thoughts can be expressed to initiate a process where these issues can perhaps resolve themselves.

The works showcased in Disorder in Progress are exquisite, refined, polished, attractive, elegant, fine, subtle and simultaneously striking. Its entirety is illustrated in black and white, highly contrasted from the exterior of the book which is vibrant and glossy, similar to the way Brazil itself can be characterized by some – vibrant and colourful from the outside yet dark and sinister inside.

The book features works by Carlos Bêla, Coletivo Design, Stephan Doitschinoff, Raquel Falkenbach, Linn Olofsdotter, Eduardo Recife and many others, providing insight into a deeper look of this fascinating country of dynamic contrasts.
