Steph Williams / Work / L’Écologie d’Intérieur

Designing a book that helps us redefine our relationships with the objects around us.

L’Écologie d’Intérieur

The look and feel for Marie Quéru’s book embodies the mindful, minimal, and sustainable philosophy of her teachings, while maintaining consistency with the light and airy aesthetic of her brand. Marie is the founder of L’ARRANGEUSE, a consulting company that focuses on her concept of Interior Ecology, principles by which a person promotes their well-being, and in turn their positive impact on the planet, by redefining their relationships with the objects around them. Simplistic and elegant, the layout showcases her original photography, with structure and versatility to support textbook-style content.

Color palette, typographic styles, cover options, and layouts for sample spreads were defined, and guided the publishing team for the full book arrangement. Designs shown may differ from the final published versions.

Defining color and typographic styles.

Primary and secondary color palettes align the publication with the L’ARRANGEUSE brand, while titles and page content structure drive the overall hierarchy.

Living better with less.

Cover design features Marie Quéru’s original photography for a minimal aesthetic that embodies the central idea behind Interior Ecology and tagline for the book, vivre mieux avec moins (to live better with less).

Structured and versatile.

Interior layout supports textbook-style content and allows movement, life, and zen quality of the photography to shine through.

Connecting with the author.

Accompanying the book description and summary is a full bleed photo of Marie Quéru, establishing the author's personality and brand upon first picking up the book.
