7 Steps – Pocket Ed.

2014

Concept

This project is a variation of 7 Steps, designed to bring the concept into everyday life. It consists of a box containing seven independent handmade books, each representing one of the seven steps: Motivation, Rhythm, Meditation, Emptiness, Effort, Determination, and Happiness. Unlike the original, these books function as amulets—small enough to slip into a pocket or stand discreetly on a shelf, yet substantial enough for their content to have an effect. The project invites the reader to carry a personal, tactile reminder of each state of mind, making the journey toward goals intimate and accessible.

Edition

This full edition with the box is one-of-a-kind. However, slightly different independent books were produced in larger quantities and sold in various concept stores in Barcelona and Menorca untill December 2025.
