Poster of Lars Müller BOOKS Analogue Reality

“Lars Müller BOOKS Analogue Reality” features 100 books all published by the internationally renowned Swiss publisher and designer, Lars Müller. Since 1983, he has been presenting books on architecture, design, typography, photography, and social issues that impress with their consistently high design quality, always investigating thoroughly the best style and materials with his keen acumen.

Müller’s words, “For me, a book is special when I’ve succeeded in harmonizing its content with its design, and both are good. Nothing is worse than weak content concealed by good design,” clearly shows his attitude towards book design and book publishing. Also, he has a strong conviction that “there is no digital replacement in sight for the book and its comforting physicality, its formal variety, and the sensuality of its perception.” Please walk around the world of books, each created carefully by this book-specialist designer/publisher, pondering how the book fits into our world

today, and which way it is trying to face towards the future.
