About the Publisher
At Book Lab, we experiment with book crafts.We develop and publish books that stimulate the reader’s senses. Books that touch and touch to an extent so that they rarely leave the coffee table in favor of the bookshelf. We do this because books for us are more than a cassette for homeless words. Books are a craft in line with design furniture and architecture, they have a potential that goes beyond their primary function. Everyone knows that the value of a Wegner chair exceeds sitting comfort. The same goes for the experience of a beautifully crafted book – it surpasses the sum of pictures and words. We place high demands on craftsmanship and choice of materials, in turn we leave the content to you. For us, books on potsherds and Kierkegaard can be just as visually innovative as books on baked goods and Bauhaus.Then you have a great idea, a finished manuscript, an archive full of pictures and not least want to get a book out of the ordinary, we have associated with copywriters, photographers, graphic designers and booksellers who can help realize your project
