Lars Müller Building Books
The many visual books that Baden, Switzerland-based designer Lars Müller has published from his self-owned publishing house in recent years cultivate a new style of communication which called “Visual Reader.” In July, 2005, the Watari-um Museum in Tokyo displayed a body of materials that recorded Müller’s trial-and-error process of book making from the initial idea to printing. In this article, we reconstruct these traces of Müller’s work, and try to find the source of his imagination.
