ANALOG is the fourth issue of the Surface series. Presented in two books within a slipcase, ANALOG explores how creatives across art, fashion, design, food and literature are pushing back against the relentless pull of screens – building a world that speaks to all our senses.
ANALOG WORK brings together those pioneering the return to the physical. The book features work by international artists and designers including Sarah Illenberger, Anny Wang & Tim Söderström, Lise Vester, Bubu Ogisi, Daniel Gordon, Tess Smith-Roberts, Sarah Eagan, Shirley Garrier & Mathieu Zouhairi and Anna Kulachek. Each story explores how materiality, craft and intentionality create work that resonates – work that engages touch, sight, smell and memory. Work that lasts.
ANALOG FAQ is a guide to making smarter paper decisions. Nine chapters answer frequently asked questions about the Arctic Design Range, drawing on insights from experts across the industry – designers, printers, publishers and production managers who work with paper every day. Topics include balancing print quality with tactile feel, choosing the right shade and grammage, mixing paper types, preventing ageing, meeting sustainability commitments, ensuring smooth production and convincing clients to invest in better materials. ANALOG FAQ provides the technical details and practitioner insights needed to transform printed projects into meaningful objects – objects that become part of our shared physical world.
Arctic Volume becomes Arctic
Arctic Paper is simplifying the name of its flagship coated range. The former Arctic Volume brand is now called Arctic and introduced with a new Arctic logo. The paper qualities Arctic Volume White and Arctic Volume Ice remain unchanged in character and performance and continue as part of the Arctic Design Range.
Arctic has been a leading choice in European book and design publishing for years. The new brand mark reflects this position – and the paper's commitment to quality: produced on 100% fossil-free energy, Cradle to Cradle Certified® Material Health at Silver level, and made from wood-free fibers.
