木 mù


Mù is a collection of tales and stories inspired by Wood. Objects, places, and ideas expected and unexpected appear in this genre-bending, free-branching compilation—you’ll read about cedar bark and a concrete building, the sauna and a sparring match, a very old wooden tool and nine new paint colours, the chair maker, the writer, the tree-keeper, the musician, and ChatGPT …

Illustrated with 15 original artworks and typography that takes wordplay to new heights, Mù is a beautifully crafted book filled with wit and wonder.
