Unapologetic in burgundy, with his private parts neatly covered by a flower. And somewhere in that same world, a book titled How to Be Rich, which he’s reading… while sitting there.

 

You have to respect that level of confidence.

 

Summation doesn’t try too hard. It just gets it right. The humour is slightly inappropriate, slightly uncomfortable, and exactly where it needs to be. You laugh first, and then you realise how well everything is actually put together.

 

The colours are great. The compositions are clean. Nothing feels off. And that’s rare, because work like this often leans too far into chaos. This doesn’t. It’s controlled, considered, and very deliberate.

 

The text underneath the man on the toilet : To a Better Year. I love the dry humour.

What I like even more, once you look past the first laugh, is that this isn’t random. It’s part of something bigger. Summation sits alongside their sister brand Summorie, where they make notebooks, paper goods, and everyday objects with the same level of care. It’s not just humour for the sake of it. It’s design thinking, applied to everything, even the smallest piece.

 

Every book is hand-stitched. Clean, precise, no cutting corners. And somehow still affordable, which makes it even better, because usually this kind of detail comes with a heavy price tag.

 

The space reflects that mindset. Not just books on a shelf, but a mix of studio, indie publishing, and a bit of café energy. It’s not polished in the traditional sense, but it feels alive, and that’s the point.

 

They’re still at REXKL for now, but not for long.

 

So if this speaks to you, don’t wait. It’s not trying to please everyone. And that’s exactly why it does.
