PHILIP

The anniversary magazine “PHILIP” celebrates the 100th birthday of the visionary entrepreneur Philip Rosenthal. Designed as a high-quality hardcover oversized book, the magazine comprises nearly 200 pages. Featuring expressive photography, it visualises the life and work of the entrepreneur, complemented by numerous anecdotes and incidents that render a vivid image of his eventful life. The special friendship to architect and designer Martin Gropius has inspired the distinctive cover design element. Since the motif of the “pig” played a role in a bet between the two about the emergence of the gold rim on porcelain, it was made to feature on a porcelain plate fully decorated in gold, attached to the front cover as a special eyecatcher. Aside the three solid colours, a colourfully designed “happy birthday folder” and truncated pages, a photo story by photographer Joachim Baldauf enriches the liveliness of the magazine that comes in a protective box made of the same material.
