French born designer and illustrator Thomas Danthony, who is currently based in London, has designed N — a 42 page black & white book featuring a collection of graphite and ink drawings.

Black hardcover book N by Thomas Danthony with minimalist white logo on front cover and matching slipcase

Self-published, N is available in two different versions, one of which is a luxury book with a hand-made cover. The project was an experimentation by Danthony, differing from his commercial work, which allowed him the freedom to create a simple aesthetic. You can purchase your own copy here.
