Bar Brutal:
A Cookbook of Revelations

What we talk about when we talk about Bar Brutal: This is a portrait of one of the world’s best-loved drinking holes and its formative role in the natural wine movement —the place where a legendary cast of winemakers, sommeliers, chefs, musicians, and wanton drinkers have all converged in the feeling that something was taking shape between the never-ending party and an intimate knowledge of the wines.

MADEIRA

Recipes & Wanderings on the Atlantic Island of Eternal Spring

Introduced by chef Nuno Mendes, the fifth volume in our series developed in partnership with Belmond follows Nadine Ijewere’s radiant lens across the island, while writer Inês Matos Andrade guides readers through its mountains, seas, and untamed sweetness.

The Unimportance of Form by Jasper Morrison

The Unimportance of Form brings together the early writings of British designer Jasper Morrison, who has built a career designing objects that have a way of feeling as though they were always meant to exist. He is also a sharp and incisive writer—direct, sceptical, and humorous. Collected and edited by industrial designer Sina Sohrab, these early musings document the honing of a lifelong argument. Written between 1984 and 2002, and gathered here for the first time, they follow the early construction of ideas that would come to define his practice: the responsibilities of design, the value of usefulness, and the quiet authority of ordinary things.

A Lot of Work,
Muller Van Severen

A Lot of Work is a new monograph dedicated to the work of the restlessly inventive Belgian design studio Muller Van Severen. Shaped by 15 years of seminal practice, it is the first to present Fien Muller and Hannes Van Severen both together and as individual artists, charting the energies of their solo trajectories alongside their shared design language. Approaching the monograph as a collage, the book traces what has unfolded over the past decade and a half, what preceded it, and what may yet come—shaped, as the title suggests, by a lot of work. 

Coincidence,
Jeremy Liebman

Jeremy Liebman’s Coincidence captures three generations in motion, exploring ideas of home from Dallas to Brooklyn and across the English countryside. After more than a decade contributing to Apartamento magazine’s visual aesthetic, his debut photobook turns the lens inwards, creating an intimate black-and-white family portrait. Set between his late father, the photographer Richard Liebman, and his young grandchildren, the work maps uncanny parallels in their trajectories as time, memory, and wonder quietly unfold.
