Irma Boom, Chanel N°5. Unique and hard to get book by Irma Boom. A design classic, which is, amongst others, in the collection of MOMA. Chanel Nº5 is entirely white and contains no ink printed text and images. The text and images can only be read in embossment. Irma Book made a book in a limited print run with 500 pp. for the exhibition ‘No. 5 Culture Chanel’ in the Palais de Tokyo in Paris, which is entirely blind printed. It makes the contents seem like perfume: Hardly visible, though it is there. The book won the Dutch Design Award in 2013. From the jury report: ‘For the jury Boom managed to capture a sense (smell) and makes it tangible through the other senses: look, feel. Therewith the book is elevated to an object and an experience. A total experience that also represents the sensuality of smell and is still functional: you can read everything. An interactive experience in a classic product’. Dimensions: 10 3/8 x 8 11/16 x 1 7/8" (26.4 x 22 x 4.8 cm). The copy is in new condition. The book includes the slipcase and both are still in the original plastic foil. Never read.
