Statement and Counter-Statement 1

Experimental Jetset has spent nearly three decades working at the edges of graphic design, taking on clients like the Stedelijk Museum and the Whitney while never losing the stripped back, text based sensibility rooted in Swiss typography and Dutch modernism. This first monograph on the Amsterdam trio resists the tidy chronological format most design books default to, reading instead as a personal archive: fragmentary, self aware, and often wry about the realities of running an independent studio.

An index of over a hundred pages pulls quotes and reflections from the studio's own interviews and lectures, arranged alphabetically rather than by project or year. Essays from Linda van Deursen, Mark Owens, and Ian Svenonius sit alongside photographic chapters covering both printed work and site specific installations.
