『Gonggi』is the first book in the ‘Add to Cart’ play series and explores gonggi, a traditional Korean game similar to jackstones. The stones move in arcs as they are thrown and caught, and the hand repeats its movements. This process of playing the game is compared to the planets in space in our work, printed in two colors using foil stamping so that the angle of the light changes how it looks. The continuous and repeating image is presented in an accordion book format that is hand-bound so that the cover and interior pages, or the beginning and end of the book, are all connected as one.

CART SERIES is a project that presents collected objects as books in various forms. The second theme is『moving numbers』. We gathered together dice, a lotto shaker, a clock, and a calendar, which are all ‘number-based objects with movement’. Each object has a shape according to a different number, and their arrangement changes in interesting ways based on the pressure that is applied. The objects are printed to scale in a single color to draw attention to their shapes. The cover also has a number plate that can be turned so that the title of the book and the numbers can be viewed in turn. 

In conversation a few weeks ago with Sean O’Toole at The Book Shoppe, Cape Town, about his new book The Object that I designed.
