un sedicesimo / a sixteenth

last week, during the fuorisalone 2013, I was wandering around in Milan and 

I came across a little design bookshop, in via savona, a temporary bookshop by 

corraini editore. here every book is a piece of art, from children’s books to those 

about design and communication. 

but what I really loved were some beautiful and colored little books, 

part of a collection called un sedicesimo [a sixteenth, the typographical misure] 

with a meaning: “it’s not about speaking of graphics, but making it”. 

a magazine, but not a magazine. not a fixed graphic, not a subject, but a different 

author for every issue, like an art gallery on paper.  

1. alexis rom + claude marzotto un sedicesimo 19b  .  2. rosa linke . un sedicesimo 7b
