Wim Crouwel: A Graphic Odyssey—Digital Catalogue for iPad is an expanded and enhanced version of the printed catalogue published by Unit Editions and the Design Museum to accompany the Wim Crouwel exhibition at the Design Museum in London.

This all-encompassing digital catalogue offers a unique insight into Wim Crouwel's work and archive, as well as the successful exhibition co-curated by Unit Editions co-founder Tony Brook. It's a chance to either discover or relive the exhibition.
