Lantern Office
independent publishing, organised around clear decisions and accountable direction.
Lantern Office is a fictional independent publishing advisory organisation created as catalogue design 295. Its interface treats editorial editions, responsibilities, constraints and evidence as the visual system, giving clients a credible long-form website rather than a decorative landing page.

07 / Questions
Is this a real organisation?
No. Lantern Office is a fictional Interlink Apps identity demonstrating a production-grade website for independent publishing advisory.
How is delivery made measurable?
Each editorial edition carries scope, ownership, acceptance criteria, decisions and close-out evidence from the beginning.
Can this identity adapt to another organisation?
Yes. Content, imagery and operating terminology can change while retaining the responsive, accessible information architecture.
