Flatlife #[nn]

Jonas Geirnaert's Flatlife offers a quietly charming peek into apartment living, its cover divided into four color-coded panels — each showing a different tenant absorbed in his own solitary routine: one painting at an easel, another stacking objects at a table, a third watching television in an armchair, and a fourth doing laundry beside a washing machine. The pixelated title lettering and the simple, rounded character designs give the whole thing a warm, almost retro-digital feel that's immediately inviting. Published in 2014 by De Harmonie, this is the kind of book that finds gentle humor and humanity in the everyday.
