The Index Book, Matteo Thun monograph: plants paired with green glazed tiles and wood

CLIENT: Matteo Thun & Partners
WHEN: 2013
WHERE: Milan
DESCRIPTION: Published by Hatje Cantz

Matteo Thun: The Index Book is the architect’s monograph, published by Hatje Cantz. There are no essays: six indexes open thirty years of projects in six ways – alphabetically, by typology, by place, by date, by client and by image.

From coffee cups to restaurants, from mountain resorts to wristwatches, the work is ordered like the list of ingredients at the back of a cookbook, creating a new way of talking about it.

Developed by Elena Pelosi as Creative Director at Matteo Thun & Partners.
