Brazilian edition "Almond" (from the South-Korean author Won-pyung Sohn) book cover illustration + design.
Client: Rocco
2023
The book, a best-selling since its launch, has been featured in two book biennials, such as the Rio de Janeiro Book Biennial in 2023, alongside the other best-selling book covers; and recently on the façade and interior of Rocco's stand during the São Paulo Book Biennial 2024.

The secondhand bookstore design was inspired by a real one, the 대오서점 Dae-o Book Store, located at Seoul, South Korea. It was visited by RM from BTS twice. I thought it would be funny to connect the BTS' boys together like this, since Namjoon and Yoongi have recommended the book.
