Ilona Harima — The road to enlightenment surveys the work and life of an almost forgotten Finnish artist Ilona Harima. It was published to accompany a Central Art Archives’ focus exhibition on Harima’s output from the 1920s to 60s at the Ateneum Art Museum. Harima’s fascination with themes from Hindu and Buddhist culture was extremely unusual in the Finnish art world of the time.

The book was published as a limited edition collector’s item as well as a web-publication (link) to be read on tablet or on-screen. Special care was given to make sure the text is equally readable on both printed and screen versions.

The project was a collaboration with type designer Emma Laiho.
