Project brief
A recipe collection that has to lie flat while both hands are busy, but still needs a rigid cover to survive kitchen use and retail shelving.

- Case
- 2 mm board, printed wrap
- Binding
- Wire-o block, concealed spine
Craft and finish
- 01
Punched block
The block is trimmed, punched and wire-o bound before it is joined to the case.
- 02
Concealed spine
The case wraps the back of the wire so the book still reads as a hardcover on the shelf.
- 03
Wipe-clean cover
A matte laminated wrap resists kitchen handling without the glare of a gloss finish.
What we decided
A concealed wire spine was chosen over an exposed coil so the book keeps a hardcover silhouette in shops, while the block still opens flat on the counter.
