Commemorative Corporate Book DR 100

DR 100 Anos – A força do legado na construção do futuro (DR 100 Years – The Power of Legacy in Building the Future) celebrates the centennial of DR Aromas & Ingredients, a Brazilian multinational that conquered the world and became the largest flavor and fragrance house in Latin America.

Siamo Studio was responsible for the book’s graphic design, photographic art direction, illustrations, layout and print production. Research and editing were led by journalists Maurício Oliveira and Suzana Klein, in partnership with an editorial board made up of the company’s executives. Our role was to translate the editorial plan and content into visual narratives that are consistent with the company’s universe, making the reading experience fluid, impactful and enjoyable.

As a graphic and narrative device, the book draws on extensive curation of historical documents and photographs, recovered and restored for the publication. Editorial design tools, image retouching and artificial intelligence were combined to recover detail and bring new life to the records that shape the company’s legacy. In counterpoint, an extensive contemporary photo shoot focused on infrastructure, equipment and food balances the historical perspective, connects the narrative to the food industry and projects the company into the future.

The equally meticulous print production resulted in a set of complementary pieces designed to amplify the impact of the work: cover finishes, special boxes and a customized letter.
