Swire, 150 Year Book & Art Direction

Swire is a global corporation with businesses spanning property, beverages, aviation and marine. The China Navigation Company is Swire’s maritime transport wing, trading since 1872. Working closely with the archival team I designed this hardback book, marking their 150 year anniversary. The book documents milestones throughout the company’s history; bringing together ephemera from paper-based artefacts to inscribed silverware. Previously undocumented pieces of the company’s history were captured in collaboration with photographer Katie Hammond.
