National Centre for Literature picks up German Design Award

Luxembourg’s Centre national de literature has won a German Design Award for the catalogue “Korrekturspuren – Textmetamorphosen / Traces de correction – textes en metamorphose”.

Having already received the renowned “red dot 2016. Best of the Best” in 2016 and picking up a bronze medal in the European Design Award in 2017, the design agency Rose de Claire received a German Design Award on the 9 February for the its catalogue- published by the Centre national de littérature.

The jury commented on the fact that creative works normally undergo revisions and corrections before their final version and that “the Centre national de littérature in Luxembourg set out on a search of these corrections. An exhibition was created to document such “traces” in different literary works. It shows the works of the authors in their struggle of finding the right words and forming them into the right sentences.”

The catalogue thus showcases an intriguing exhibition (whose title translates as “traces of revisions”), enabling the visitor to revisit the exhibition, whilst the catalogue itself also looks as though it has been revised a number of times.
