Four Hands Wallpaper Sample Book
Four Hands is a furniture and décor designer/wholesaler, offering a curated mix of products focused on style and craftsmanship. They asked me to design a sample book to celebrate the launch of their wallpaper collection at High Point Market. Print, Art Direction, Book Design
Overview
Four Hands wanted a high-end coffee table book to generate excitement around the launch of this new product category. It needed to showcase the full range of colorways for each wallpaper design and presented product details in a clear, easy-to-scan format. The binding and layout system also needed to be flexible, to simplify updates as the collection expands.
Binding & Materials
Screw-post binding created a seamless look and allowed for easy, cost-effective updates. The cover was a heavy matte black card stock with a foil-stamped title and logo, evoking luxury. For the interior, we folded long wallpaper samples to create double-sided pages—adding weight, texture, and a striking fore-edge stripe that invited hands-on interaction.
Layout
I designed a modular layout template that fits up to 20 color swatches per page. Each page begins with a brief paragraph explaining the design inspiration, followed by a clean, easy-to-scan table that presents the product specs clearly and consistently.
Outcome
The sample book was a well-received blend of beauty and storytelling that generated excitement around the launch. It was such a hit that one of the two copies was stolen, and the client asked me to design a mini version to follow.
