Pentagram: Living by Design

A two-part publication issued in a limited edition of 1,000 copies in a slipcase, offering an in-depth survey of the influential design firm Pentagram, spanning 50 years from its founding in 1972 to 2022.

Book one, The Directory, examines the group, its achievements, design philosophies, and distinctive business model. It traces broader developments in graphic design, from the handmade aesthetics of the 1970s to the sharp digital visual culture of the 2020s, while honoring the more than 50 past and present partners who have shaped Pentagram’s evolution.

The Biography, the second volume, provides extensive profiles of 50 partners and their projects, forming a living biography of a studio that has survived and produced influential work for half a century.

Both volumes are richly illustrated with photographs, sketches, identities, and ephemera, offering a comprehensive record of Pentagram’s lasting impact on contemporary design. This edition out of print.
