Longbarn Company (Lichtenvoorde, Netherlands)
‘A story about texture, colour, quality and pure materials’

2018
Collection brochure 

Longbarn Company offers exclusive qualities in luxurious textures, creating unique and rugs for a range of high-end customers. Designed and manufactured in the Netherlands, all Longbarn rugs are tufted in the finest yarns spun from natural fibres such as silk, eucalyptus, wool, cotton and mohair.

For its 2018 collection, the company commissioned us to create a collection brochure. To convey the textural beauty of the purely natural materials on the cover, we produced a simple image of a cord of natural white cotton yarn against a white background, including a thin shadow. To create an even more tactile and spatial experience, we embossed the image of the cord. Inside the brochure, we continued the same art-direction concept, based on the natural quality of the yarns. Along with images of their pure materials, we also included samples of the rugs featured.

The 24-page booklet is printed on Munken Premium White 150 GSM paper and stitched into a softcover (made of the same paper in 300 GSM), which folds out in both the front and the back.
