Our art books have received the highest accolades from many national and international competitions.
In our books we endeavour to offer you well-founded texts – by accredited authors. We lay great importance on the optical (in the book design) and also the tactile (in the selection of materials).
In 1997 we were already combining paper with a recycled plastic slipcase as a single unit with our book "Plastics + Design" (out of stock): this book received many awards and was integrated into the permanent collection of the Museum of Modern Art in New York – as an example of the highest quality design.
