Lundgren+Lindqvist Designs Polestar 4 Book with Experimental Grids and Raw Textures

publication · 2026-07-17

Lundgren+Lindqvist has designed the Polestar 4 book, a hybrid graphic object that bridges technical documentation and editorial art. The layout uses five distinct paper stocks, a letter-based labeling system, and a continuous horizontal image alignment. Transparency defines the publication, with thin text pages revealing hints of following content and overlapping pages exposing screen components in the UX chapter. The raw-edge hardcover features a semi-transparent dust jacket with the title printed in reversed orientation on the interior, plus a silk-screened ribbon bookmark. Bold typography, balanced negative space, and high-contrast colors structure the narrative. The grid maintains extreme visual tension, while precise binding methods ensure durability. The project sets a new benchmark for automotive monographs, resulting from deep design discipline and close collaboration with print specialists.
