Founded in Berlin in 1995, Gestalten is best known for our more than 450 books that document and anticipate vital movements in design, illustration, architecture, and typography as well as urban and contemporary art. We generate the topics for the vast majority of the books that we publish ourselves and compile, edit, and design each publication to be both inspirational and user-oriented.Gestalten publications are sold in almost 100 countries through bookstores and museum shops as well as specialty and concept stores. Because our books are locally available in so many markets, we come into direct communication with creatives throughout the world. Our books have found resonance not only among a global professional agency and design audience, but also among students, architects, directors, trend scouts, and anyone interested in visual codes.In addition to documenting creativity through our publications, Gestalten has established an international reputation as a think tank and impulse generator for innovative design. Our clients include Design Hotels, Diesel, Distanz, Hatje Cantz, MTV, Nokia, Redbull, Smart, Uniqlo, Volkswagen, and Zumtobel.Gestalten Space has opened its doors in our home city Berlin in April 2011. As a playground for experimentation, the hybrid retail-gallery space has been conceived as an outlet to materialize the world that we publish and bring it to life. Offering a truly unique experience, Gestalten Space presents our comprehensive collection of books that we have published to date alongside a striking selection of curated design products as well as a monthly program of exhibitions with the artists that we publish.
