Challenge

Prestel Publishing, a leading international art book publisher, needed to improve its visibility at the London Book Fair and required support on multiple book design projects.

Solution

In collaboration with Forth Tyne, CR&D developed a distinctive modular stand system for the London Book Fair, combining bold visual graphics with flexible book displays to attract visitors and highlight Prestel’s catalogue. Alongside event work, we designed several high-profile books — from BLADs to full layouts and cover artwork — including Damascus Tiles, An English Room, and Noble Houses of Scotland.

Impact

• Created a stand-out exhibition presence increasing visitor engagement.
• Delivered a modular stand system reused successfully over multiple years.
• Produced multiple high-profile art and design books strengthening the catalogue.
• Improved workflow with efficient BLAD and layout delivery.
• Reinforced Prestel’s reputation as a leader in international art publishing.
