A World Apart:
Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi

Grade was commissioned by the owner of Asia’s number one luxury resort, the Waldorf Astoria Maldives Ithaafushi, based on similar titles we had previously undertaken, to create a special-edition book with slipcase, showcasing the island resort’s unique facilities and highlighting the unbridled luxury that awaits guests throughout their stay. Grade produced the entire book, with every aspect of its creation undertaken by the studio — from the book’s title and chapter concepts to the planning and art direction of a two-week photoshoot in the Maldives. This included overseeing the writing and editorial team, design and book layouts, through to the final repro, printing stages, and delivery.
