Polestar 4: A Masterclass in Material and Grid
As a branding curator, I recommend this design study without reservation. Lundgren+Lindqvist balance strict grids, tactile papers, and transparent overlays with precise restraint. The book reads as both technical manual and cinematic editorial object. Every spread invites touch, sequencing, and careful study.
The design uses five distinct paper stocks, silk screening, and a semi transparent dust jacket. Letter based labeling and a continuous horizontal image line create order and cinematic flow. Fine typography and negative space maintain disciplined tension across overlays and structural elements. The production shows close collaboration with print specialists, resulting in precise binding and durable form.
This book bridges technical documentation and editorial storytelling with uncompromising craft. It sets a benchmark for automotive monographs, while offering lessons for any brand focused on materiality. Designers will study the grid logic, overlap choreography, and tactile treatments for years to come. As a curator, I value projects that marry concept, craft, and production, and this book excels. Read it to inspire editorial experiments, production partnerships, and tighter brand systems. Follow the case study for visual details, production notes, and links to the full Behance presentation. Highly recommended.
