Style, Luxury and Speed

The handbound beautiful red book rests in a Ferrari-inspired aluminium box placed on a specially designed bookstand, both created by Marc Newson, who has been described as one of the most influential designers of his generation. He was inspired by a 12-cylinder Ferrari engine, and he says the following about working on the book:

I knew immediately what I wanted to design because Ferrari is all about racing and the engines. One of the most iconic and significant engines of the period was the famed V12 250 engine, which I think represents a particular type of Italian technical mastery – that became my immediate source of inspiration. I essentially wanted to shoe-horn this book into a Ferrari engine”.

A Coveted Collector's Item
