The 14 snaps are a consideration on "giving up" comfort in favor of a unique and fashionable look when designing objects.

Paper is no longer the support for the text; it also communicates a message through the format, the colour, the cuts and their successions. The elements that usually set up a book (like the colophon and the title-page) are omitted, and the reading plays like a melody, with different tones through the sequence of the pages.
