Discover how a trouser leg can spark a revolution and step into the SpeesBookLookPak, a wearable publication and legible garment for the playful human of the future.
For this third BookLook edition, Anouk Beckers teams up with Iris de Leeuw, who designed the Speespak ’66, to create a playsuit anno 2026. With a chronicle of the 1966 design by Rijksmuseum history conservator Harm Stevens and background texts by artist Anouk Beckers and artist Iris de Leeuw, the publication unfolds into paper patterns for both the 1966 and 2026 Speespakken.

Multiple translators. I translated the Chronicle by Harm Stevens.
