The Slowdown. At a Distance: 100 visionaries at home in a pandemic

The Slowdown is a media company that emerged in New York as the pandemic began. Its goal is to make sense of a world addicted to speed, advocating a more thoughtful and considered view of the moment.

As the weeks passed, a deceleration took place that neither of the two founders, Spencer Bailey and Andrew Zuckerman, could ever have imagined. Moved by curiosity to know what some minds were thinking, they decided to start a remote podcast with conversations focused on various concerns.

Some time later those conversations are organized into a book published by Apartamento Publishing. ‘The Slowdown – At a Distance – 100 visionaries at home in a pandemic’ collects a selection of the wisdom shared by the podcast guests, while exploring the changes that could come in the future.

Book bound with full flexibook cover lined with cloth, painted edges in pink and white silk wrapping paper with circular adhesive printed with two Pantone inks.

For the cover of the book was used a Africa fabric of 130 g printed in Pantone Pink and Kurz Black Mat hot foil and the insertion of an adhesive printed with Pantone Orange ink, a matt acrylic varnish and Kurz Black Mat hot foil.

Inner pages printed with two different papers: Arena Ivory Smooth of 90 g. (Fedrigoni Papers) printed with Pantone 211 U and black and Creator Star of 135 g.(Lecta) printed with Pantone 211 U and black.
