Commentary on "Approximations to the Object"

Readings in Designed Literature

By Pedro Bernstein.

Commentary on "Approximations to the Object"

For designers, typographers and curious minds—Bernstein's take on an obscure 19th-century treatise reestablishes the semiotic connections between design and literature

Pedro Bernstein's commentary on the oeuvre of Approximations to the Object, a 19th-century treatise attributed to Edmund Stone, leads to a fundamental question: how does the flux between design and literature produce a distinct engagement with meaning?
