Publication honouring the 80th birthday of pioneering Dutch designer, typographer, and photographer Piet Zwart (1885–1977), it functions as both a celebratory Festschrift and a reflective anthology, compiling Zwart's writings, essays by contemporaries, and visual tributes to his avant-garde legacy. Edited by Jurriaan Schrofer (Dutch graphic designer and educator), the book showcases Zwart's influence on modern typography, Nieuwe Zakelijkheid (New Objectivity), and functionalist design, drawing from his collaborations with architects like J.J.P. Oud and his iconic works for clients like the Nederlandse Kabelfabriek (NKF). Produced during a resurgence of interest in interwar modernism, it captures Zwart's shift from De Stijl-inspired experiments to post-war industrial graphics.
