After a busy period at the office with many new publications we will soon slow down to enjoy the summer days and work behind the scenes on upcoming book launches and fairs. In this post you can find a sneak peek of our plans!

We recently asked The Book Photographer to photograph Blind Date with the Future by Stefanie Zoche / Haubitz + Zoche, below you can find the beautiful results! This book is an artistic reflection on climate crisis and scarce resources in the age of the Anthropocene, with a great design by COCCU Studio (Christian Lange).

On the occasion of the upcoming book Interwoven, we will release a special edition! The edition consists of the book, a limited 30x25 cm photo print, and an original 15x15 cm of grown root textile. In this publication summarizes artist Diana Scherer the project Interwoven and its results over the past 8 years. The book with a conceptual design adsresses biotechnology and research, in addition to the final results and artworks.
