The Swamped immerses you in a rich, swamplike world. From the moment you open the book, it feels as though you’re wading through a murky, humid landscape. The deep green colour palette enhances this sense of a damp, organic immersion. Illustrations of insects crawl across the pages, contributing both visually and conceptually to the atmosphere. The design has a keen sensitivity to typography, letterforms feel carefully placed, responsive to the content and mood, guiding the reader through the text like subtle currents beneath the surface. Material choices deepen the experience: the raw, textured paper and compact format invite slow, tactile exploration. The book got the Best Verzorgde Boeken (Best Designed Books Grant) 2024.
