Bookmarks

Reading tips for design lovers

This is the space where we share books that inspire us, intrigue us and remind us why we love design.

It's called Bookmarks because it collects the books that we have marked, that we like to report to you and that are reported to us.

Our library is not limited to technical manuals: it ranges from the great classics of the sector to the latest news, with some unexpected “outsiders”.

Each title has been carefully chosen and read carefully, to stimulate ideas, reflections and projects that make us grow as designers — and more!
