Collaboration
A printed history, translated into line.
Created for Grafiche Milani’s 120th anniversary, this original illustration brings the studio’s blue-ink and gold-leaf language into a graphic tribute to the company’s printed world.
Architecture, books, hands and moving paper form a single drawn field: not a retrospective, but an image of a living craft.
The page presents the verified final illustration from the 2025 anniversary project.
The commission
From illustration to printed object.
