Five years in the making, the book Pentagram: Living by Design is an in-depth study of the team from its early 1970s origins in London to its current position as one of the strongest forces in international design. Pentagram: Living by Design (two volumes) is the definitive statement on 50 years of Pentagram. The first volume, The Biography, offers a comprehensive analysis of the team, its partners, achievements, multifaceted approach, and unique business model. It is accompanied by a wealth of images (some never published), a visual essay of Pentagram's work across four main areas, a selection of written contributions, a Pentagram family tree, and much more. The second volume, The Catalogue, includes profiles of 50 partners, both past and present, accompanied by extensive coverage of their work. It is an impressive list: from the five famous founders to some of the most recognizable names in contemporary design. It also includes a list of everyone who has worked in the various company offices. Both volumes are designed by Tony Brook and the Spin design team and use a variety of paper and special colors.
