Our latest publication, NKF: Piet Zwart’s Avant-Garde Catalog for Standard Cables, 1927–1928, brings to life a typographic masterpiece by one of twentieth century’s most influential designers. With a complete facsimile and an in-depth supplement featuring essays by design scholars Philip Meggs and Paul Stirton, page-by-page translations of the catalog, reproductions from a decade of designs for Dutch cable company NKF, and Zwart’s own manifesto on type, NKF offers readers a chance to experience and own a design classic.
Join us online for a conversation about Zwart’s pathbreaking work with Paul Stirton, whose new essay “Piet Zwart, NKF, and the New Typography” appears in the supplement. Stirton will present in discussion with artist and writer Elizabeth Meggs.
