Parts of the book: Box Sometimes books come inside a box. Or they come with a box that helps gather all their parts together. The box works like a container. It holds the book, or it holds many loose pieces that belong to the same work. This is not only for special editions. Boxes can also be simple and practical. They are often used when a publication is made of different elements. Inside, you might find pages that are not bound, postcards, letters, small booklets, or even notecards and stickers. Each piece can exist on its own, but together they form a whole. Without a box, these elements could move, mix, or get lost. The box keeps them safe and in order. It gives them a place to live. At the same time, the box becomes part of the work. It adds weight, texture, and presence. It changes how we open, touch, and explore the piece. In the end, the box is not just a container. It brings everything together, and turns many separate parts into one complete object. #ivorypress #partsofabook

This morning Ivorypress hosted a conversation on contemporary photography featuring Aleix Plademunt, Ricardo Cases, and Antonio Xoubanova. The discussion reflected on diverse photographic formats and narrative approaches. Part of the exchange focused on Sit, site, chair, cherry, a project born from Rolf Fehlbaum’s invitation to Aleix Plademunt to explore the Vitra Campus. Through design, landscape, and everyday gestures, the publication observes the campus as a delicate balance between nature and architecture. Sit, site, chair, cherry is available at Ivorypress.
