Two thick white softcover books for Stockholm Design Lab show front and back covers built around oversized alkaline battery photography and restrained sans-serif typography.
Summary
A product photograph presents two Stockholm Design Lab monograph volumes angled to reveal both covers, each dominated by a silver alkaline battery with a large translucent numeral overlay.
Visual description
The books sit on a white surface against a white background with soft shadows. The front cover shows a battery labeled with small black type and a large white "1" over the cell, plus header text reading "1998-2015" and "Stockholm Design Lab: 24 projects and things of". The rear cover mirrors the battery motif with a white "2" and two columns of descriptive copy above a barcode. Spines remain clean white with small black titling. The palette stays almost entirely neutral with photographic metallic silver as the only strong accent.
Key takeaway
Industrial product photography becomes the entire cover system, with numbered batteries acting as a memorable, repeatable graphic device across front and back.
Reuse notes
Strong reference for design-studio monographs, identity retrospectives, or book covers that use a single mundane object at heroic scale. The numbered pairing works well for two-volume or sequel publications.
