WERK No.9: Three-Stories in collaboration with adidas Originals (2004)

シンガポールのデザイナー、テセウス・チャン（Theseus Chan）による雑誌『WERK』第9号は、アディダスオリジナルス（adidas Originals）との協働号。誰かが読み込み、使い古したかのようなダメージ加工が施された表紙が特徴です。意図的に皺が入れられた表紙を、古い靴箱のように、セロハンテープで手作業で補修するという工程を経て製本されています。不完全さの中に美しさを見出すというチャン自身の思想が、ヴィンテージというブランドの個性と共鳴し、物質としての本のあり方を問いかけます。経年やダメージに美学を見出したこの号は、その後刊行されるWERKに大きな影響を与え続けます。

A collaboration with adidas Originals. This issue is distinguished by its 'distressed' cover, which looks as if it has been thoroughly read and worn out. Chan's own philosophy of finding beauty in imperfection resonates with the brand's vintage identity, questioning the nature of the book as a physical object.
