HÉRI

HÉRI explores the origins and legacy of the Steidl publishing house through its interiors, combining references to its publishing heritage with a space dedicated to photography. A nostalgic, brutalist atmosphere is created through raw materials such as wood and concrete, contrasted with the colourful graphics of the books, which become the protagonists of the space.

The interior opens towards the outside, creating a small community around reading, music and coffee, with meeting areas integrated throughout the bookshop.

Custom furniture continues the contrast between raw and refined materials. The book display tables combine brutalist concrete forms with travertine surfaces and raw steel bases, while the cash desk and coffee area reinterpret glass blocks as a backlit panel, creating a luminous focal point within the space.
