October is full of book fairs where we will showcase our latest publications, as well as selections from our backlist. We have been to Wiels Art Book Fair, Miss Read Berlin art book fair, and are now on our way to the Frankfurter Buchmesse and look forward to Offprint Paris and DRUK at Paradiso in Amsterdam.

Tuesday evening 26 March 2024 at 7pm, BNI will organise a unique symposium entitled "Drawn to Drawing" at Nieuwe Instituut in Rotterdam. During this event, the importance of drawing for (interior) architects will be highlighted, inspired by BNI's NOOK Architectural Drawing and the book The Joy of Daily Drawing by architect Bob Custers, published by Jap Sam Books.

December 14th we had a jam packed launch of The File on D. / Dossier D. by Arianne Olthaar in The Hague. This fold-out book of photographs of hotel interiors in the former Eastern Bloc by visual artist Arianne Olthaar, challenges the imagination to create its own space and story while wandering through the cinematic empty spaces. Dutch writer Arnon Grunberg, inspired by the photographs, wrote a short story for the book. Book design by Studio Janneke Hendriks.

On the occasion of the book launch of Role of Play. New Games, New Chances. A Future Perspective on Play in Society by Ben Schouten and Menno Deen, Pakhuis de Zwijger in Amsterdam organizes an evening to engage in conversation and playful interaction with various designers and researchers about how our gaming culture has changed since the digital revolution of the past 50 years.
