Reditus ad Futurum

For the Reditus ad Futurum edition, which we designed in collaboration with Brice Delarue for Zirkumflex, we wanted to highlight the ability of the printed object to become a narrative and formal space. Inspired by LSD blotter paper, this publication is composed of twelve perforated sheets to fold, layer, and insert into a folder. The modest format (18 × 16 cm) and the limited print run of 1,200 copies reflect a precise and demanding editorial approach. The graphic language draws on diverse visual influences — from Mondrian to the guitars of Anthrax — creating a visual composition that borders on the architectural. The editorial system invites the reader to manipulate, explore, and extend the printed form: the publication is no longer passive but becomes an environment. Through perforation and layering, the paper itself becomes a bridge between image, cut, and volume. The project shows how editorial design can be conceived as a system — a meeting point between image and material. For us, this piece illustrates the intersection of art and the physicality of paper.
