The latest offering from Shaz Madani is a perfectly balanced publication

Designer Shaz Madani has had an extraordinary year. As if it wasn’t enough to take on the art direction and design of Riposte Magazine, now in its second issue, she’s also been involved with a whole host of other projects. From the stunning exhibition catalogue to accompany Lalla Essaydi’s exhibition at Baku MoMA, to the identity for the 2014 summer shows at London College of Communications, and a documentary photography publication with Giles Duley, the diversity of her work is fascinating. Moreover it never dips below excellent. Each project is created with her clean, pared back aesthetic, unobtrusive and yet bold in its approach. We’re in awe. Can you tell?

Her most recent project is the design of Print: Fashion, Interiors, Art for Laurence King publishing, for which she somehow managed to maintain her signature simplicity in spite of a multitude of bold, vibrant, busy images, from studio shots of artists and designers at work to textile and print design. The final book is aesthetically pleasing to the nth degree, infinitely collectible and perfectly balanced.
