Book Design

In 2017, I was approached by Vivien Lőrincz, who is a master of natural healing and plants, among other things. She said that she wanted to build a brand under the brand name Vivalogy by creating, distributing and promoting services and products that support physical-spiritual-mental health (namely “well-being”) -in the form of books, other products, lecture series, and so on- and would like me to join this “mission” and add not only my professional knowledge but also my own personal, human perspective to the project. Since I already knew (and even experienced) that Vivien’s outlook on life and knowledge truly was not ordinary, I saw this request as a great honor and we have begun to implement this plan now as business partners.

The Vivalogy project means “integrating” both of our knowledge into products, so we first set up a “business plan” to see how to actualize the myriad tasks, and in what order. We first started working on publishing a unique book.

The physical book was finally ready in 2020 and it turned into a truly unique book. It simultaneously has 3 functions: it is not only a Book, but a Calendar and even a beautiful Artwork all in one. Its cover is made of real birchwood, with a uniquely designed special flexible hinge; which were colored using only natural ingredients, particularly developed dyes. The dyeing, the sanding, etc. are also sophisticatedly handcrafted jobs. There are no two identical copies. Additionally, throughout production we focused on maintaining a no waste approach.
The Almanac can be a good companion for those people who are willing to work on themselves, continuously becoming better. It broadens the horizon, while also teaching us to concentrate. As a matter of fact it is a user manual to life without exaggeration, skewing, refinement, in the usual - a little “spicy,” gently brainwashing, softly giving a kick in the behind - Viva type of “velvet hammer” style.

The book has been a huge success among readers, with multiple Hungarian media and Jamie Lee Curtis (American actress - e. g. Halloween Kills) sharing it on her Instagram profile several times.
