Place Press is a publisher exploring the intersection between people, places and culture.

We constantly move from place to place – sometimes we notice, sometimes we don’t. Sometimes a place is the product of sheer ingenuity and sometimes it’s a total lack thereof. And sometimes all it takes is a single person to change a place forever.

Our books are driven by the curiosity to understand the places around us – from the inside of an elevator to an entire city.

Our first book was Otl Aicher's Isny. German designer Otl Aicher is best known for branding Lufthansa, the 1972 Munich Olympics and founding the influential Ulm School. His work for Isny im Allgäu pushed the boundaries of how a small town could represent itself through design. We explored this work, and turned it into a book with preface by Norman Foster.

Place Press operates out of a south London studio, alongside brand and design consultancy dn&co.
