Orwell 1984 is a set of two books bound as a personal response to George Orwell’s classic novel. One book, in full leather, represents the strict and controlled setting of the story, while in contrast, the cut-away binding, represents the underlying layers of this restricted setting. These exposed layers reveal the important, but fragile infrastructure that holds society together, while the full leather companion piece, is representative of the outer shell of society.
