Pelé Specifications
Premium Design and Production
The giant format ‘Pelé’ is also big on style and big on luxury. The design is the ideal showcase for this definitive assimilation of text and photography. Along with the emotion evident on every page, the cover and presentation case have been carefully created to deliver a package that is a supreme example of rich, desirable, integrated product design.
The work, which is expertly reproduced on fine LumiSilk paper, hand-bound in silk and finished in the finest natural materials comes from a production team with a wealth of experience in creating works of this scale. ‘Pelé’ has been lovingly crafted, to celebrate the legend of one of the world’s most famous sportsmen as he deserves to be celebrated.
The result is closer to a limited edition work of art than a book – both in style and sentiment.
