2 Kilo of Kessels Kramer

A unique book planned and designed entirely by the author—a brick-like volume weighing exactly 2 kilograms—encapsulates the company’s philosophy and distinctive flavor, as well as offers a physical pun on the name of the firm. It includes the works of the last ten years created by the agency, ranging from a collection of T-shirts, magazines, books, music videos, and advertising campaigns, to a documentary film about the world’s two lowest-ranking national soccer teams created just before World Cup 2002. A selection of the concepts and campaigns produced for such global clients as Diesel, Nike, and Heineken are included along with their self-published magazines, business card designs, and more. It is a superb way to see how this small agency from Amsterdam became a heavyweight in the world of advertising. The unprecedented concept and design was awarded the silver prize at the Leipzig International Best-Designed Book Exhibition, 2007. Go to the gym, then try and lift 2 kilo of KesselsKramer!
