Corners • Unseen Sketchbooks

Corners Books – Korea

We are delighted to be stocking the wonderful books of Corners – book store and printing house based in South Korea.

‘Corners is a design studio operated by three graphic designers: Daiwoong Kim, Eunhye Kim and me (Hyojoon Jo). In the studio, we have been producing books, bags, websites, t-shirts and visual identities since 2011. We also specialize Risograph stencil printing and run small publishing house.’

The rise in Risograph printing in particular has made short run printing a viable option for many. Unseen Sketchbooks are keen to support small independent design and publishing houses around the world and embrace this democratic approach to book production.

‘Not only young designers but also people who want to print small amount are wandering to find a printshop which deals with small press. And people also want there print to be printed nicely. We guess Risograph printing process can fill the gap between home printing and offset, using spot colors is one of distinct things about this process. So, quite many people are getting interest in Risograph nowadays.’ – Corners Publishing
