A zine that looks too deep into the glass of the ‘domtoren’
A smoky declaration of love
to creaking bar stools, lost nights
and the eternal clinking of glasses.
under the shadow of the ‘domtoren’,
here the city drinks its memories
The "bruine kroeg" (brown café) is more than just a place to eat. It's a cultural phenomenon, a meeting place where time fades and people can unwind.
With this publication, we pay tribute to the Utrecht "bruine kroeg," not as an object of study, but as a living organism in which a city reflects itself.
This project was also printed in editions and sold at a self-organized Zine sales evening at Kapitaal in Utrecht with the entire first-year graphic design class, this event was called: ‘Eerst Zine dan Geloven’.
This was a group assignment together with:
Talisha Karijowiredjo, Max Janssen and Mik Boschker.
