Beneath Amsterdam lies a hidden world—discarded, forgotten, hidden. From thousands of archaeological finds, designers Irma Boom and Frederik Pesch have compiled a remarkable collection of objects, arranged in a unique sequence of form, color, and texture. The designers’ choice of images and approach highlight the wealth of finds from Amsterdam’s soil in a personal way, while each object retains its autonomy. In this way, the city’s history is captured in a visual narrative with unexpected perspectives. “Actually, the book is about looking. You see things side by side that are similar only in form, and then it’s up to you what you see. Maybe you’re looking for something, but you don’t know what—that’s the magic of this book.” (Irma Boom in Het Parool). A publication commissioned by the City of Amsterdam.
