"GEORGIA MADE BY CHARACTERS"
Since 1976, every year the Frankfurter Buchmesse has welcomed a country or region as its Guest of Honour. After France, Georgia will present itself to the fair’s international public as Guest of Honour at the 2018 Frankfurter Buchmesse. From 10 – 14 October 2018, Georgia will be the focus of international media attention as the Guest of Honour at Frankfurter Buchmesse.
Ministry of Culture and Sport of Georgia and the Georgian National Book Center organized in February design competition for the Georgian Guest of Honour pavilion on ca. 2500 m2 room space. To which our company made a little contribution presenting a very unique concept of constructing a Finger Print shaped Labyrinth, formed by georgian letters-characters.
