Trieste is located in Switzerland
In Zurich, Andrea Wiegelmann and Kerstin Forster founded Triest Verlag, a publishing house specializing in architecture, design, and typography—and will present their first publication in early May.
After working in publishing for several years, the two founders decided to go their own way and become publishers themselves. According to the press release, their program focuses on "well-designed and high-quality specialist books" in the fields of architecture, design and typography as well as selected special editions.
Triest Verlag's first book is the new edition of Markus Kutter's synthetic novel Schiff nach Europa from 1957 - "optically organized" by Karl Gerstner. The book is considered a milestone in Swiss book design due to its experimental typography, which is coordinated with the text, and was also awarded the Most Beautiful Swiss Book prize in the year of publication.
The publication is unchanged from the original - a dust jacket printed on both sides provides both the original cover and the updated version with a commentary by Felix Wiedler. In addition to the bookstore edition, a special edition is also available - as a prelude to further annual collector's items.
