av edition – publishing house for architecture and design

av edition GmbH, a specialist publishing house for architecture and design, was founded in 1992 and the head office is in Stuttgart. Around 30 books are published every year.

In terms of content, the publishing house specialises in interdisciplinary fields of design, such as interior and exhibition architecture, scenography, spatial communication, product design, fashion design and communication design. The range of books comprises yearbooks such as “Exhibition Design Yearbook” or “Event Design Yearbook”, which are considered as ‘standard works’ in the international industry. Important basic reference works for professional practice are also published, along with large-format illustrated titles and exceptional monographs.

All books are developed and realised personally together with renowned authors, culture institutions and higher education establishments: from the concept to the design, the choice of suitable papers, materials and innovative printing processes. A bibliophilic specification is a matter of high priority.

The mostly German-English books are distributed in 140 countries and are available worldwide in the book trade.
