nanetto! — Literally: tiny dwarf!

Deprived of the chance of stopping time, we decided to narrate it, through an artifact that could best represent the graphic craft. An attempt to dignify what is at the same time the foundation, essence and history of communication design: paper.

In these years, where books and culture are undergoing a bad spell, in which printing is thought to be dead and everything becomes “light”…  we wanted to start anew from Venice, gifting a new identity to books. A new look and a new function. In order to introduce you to a new concept of books. A book which isn’t just made up of stories, characters, actions, but… a book which is made of glances. Stares, understandings, moments… spent toghether.

Every day Nanetto! will reveal the flow of time through a visual architecture that shapes ever-changing shadows, depending on how the sun moves during the day and how the artificial lights will illuminate it. Then in the evening … when all the lights are turned off, and the night comes, everything comes to an end. The morning after, at the new rising, everything starts again…
