Penguin Books - Book Covers

Wallace Sewell was proud to collaborate with Vintage Classics, a division of Penguin Books, on the re-covering of five iconic European novels, including Gustave Flaubert’s 'Madame Bovary', Miguel de Cervantes’ 'Don Quixote', and Giuseppe Tomasi di Lampedusa’s 'The Leopard'.
 
Working closely with the team at Penguin, Wallace Sewell helped select existing scarf designs, focusing on specific sections of the woven fabric to transform them into 2D printed covers. The result maintained the distinctive patterns and textures that are characteristic of Wallace Sewell's work, offering a fresh, visually striking interpretation for these literary classics.
