Design That Inspires | Gestalten Books

Founded and based in Berlin, Germany, Gestalten Books is the producer of over 500 print titles of beautifully designed art-inspired books. At the forefront of visual culture, the publishing company partners with talented artists and designers to create print works of on-trend designs and photography. 

We're lucky enough to stock these books at our in-office retail space, Objective Design Shop. Some of our favorite in-stock titles are The Still Life, The New Nomads, Barley & Hops, and the entire Monocle Guide Collection (shown above).

Also on our shelves are a sampling of Monocle's travel guides for Rio, Hong Kong, London and beyond, as well as so many other design, architecture, and even bicycle-culture books. And yes, it is difficult to keep from perching on a Coiled Stool by Harry Allen and diving into any of these books during the workday. Oh, the temptations of working within your own design shop.... sometimes we just have to give in!
