To celebrate Najib Corban’s 100th year. Najib Corban is one of New Zealand’s wine industry pioneers. Despite losing his sight at an early age he worked a full working life as a Vigneron, a vineyard worker.

The book was designed within a set of simple parameters; to fit within 100 pages, to be matter of fact and to be aesthetically sympathetic to its content.

The project was produced for family and friends to acknowledge a life well lived.

It is an inventory of sorts documenting his life through metaphor, photographs of his tools and his poetry. It was published in conjunction with a limited edition magnum, dipped in blackboard paint and hand numbered in an edition of 100.
