We advance institutions and people in the arts by translating their ideas into books and identities that create a lasting legacy and reputation.

Studio

With a distinct experience in book design and production, we find beauty arises from a response to the content that is led by strong ideas, typography, and attention to the book as a sculptural object.

We focus on ongoing partnerships with museums, galleries, publishers, curators and artists. We believe design flourishes with collaboration and open and diverse thought and dialogue. We’re curious and inquisitive researchers of information from the poetic to typographic.

Luminosity Lab is the Brooklyn-based studio of creative Caleb Cain Marcus. He received his MFA from Columbia University and has work in the collections of the Getty and Metropolitan Museum of Art.
