It is often said that beauty lies in the eye of the beholder. In The Touch, Kinfolk and Norm Architects present an alternative: that good design is not only visually appealing—it engages all of the human senses.

The Touch, the first collaboration between Nathan Williams of Kinfolk and Jonas BjerrePoulsen of Norm Architects, welcomes readers into over 25 inspiring spaces where interior design is not only visually appealing but engages all of the human senses.

Through beautiful homes, hotels, museums, and retail stores—from contemporary designs by Ilse Crawford and Bijoy Jain to classic cases by Arne Jacobsen—readers are invited to explore how experiencing elements such as light, nature, materiality, color, and community can deliberately bring us back to our senses and imbue every day with a richer quality.

In addition to stunning photography and interviews with design industry leaders as John Pawson and David Thulstrup, the book also details philosophical and art history references that reflect the tradition of design and color theory. For a deeper understanding of the concepts explored, The Touch includes an appendix which profiles architects such as Lina Bo Bardi and Richard Neutra. Heritage design pieces that helped influence this movement are also listed in the book.

NATHAN WILLIAMS is the co-founder of Kinfolk magazine—a leading design authority sold in over 100 countries.

JONAS BJERRE-POULSEN is an architect and founding partner at Norm Architects. He has over a decade of experience as an architect, designer, art director, and photographer.

Sharp teeth and keen senses—dive into the underwater world and discover all about sharks.

Did you know that sharks are among the oldest creatures on earth? They swam through the primordial oceans long before there were dinosaurs. Many legends surround these animals with their fearsome sharp teeth. But how dangerous are sharks really?

In The World of Sharks, you will not only find out how sharks were able to survive so many other animals and how many different species we know today, but also a lot about their very special teeth, their peculiar lateral line organ, and excellent sense of smell. However, many sharks have hardly been researched to this day—their habitats are too deep in the sea for us humans to reach. This book is the starting point for so much more to explore about sharks.

Wildlife lover DARCY DOBELL is the author of many scientific textbooks and articles aimed at younger readers, and advises organizations on how to protect the oceans.

BECKY THORNS graduated with a Fine Art degree from Falmouth University in 2015. She lives in Cornwall, UK, and already illustrated the Little Gestalten classics World of Whales and Who Invented This?

Almond, larch, oak tree and beyond—a celebration of trees around the world!

What is a tree and how does it actually grow?

How does a tree change over the course of the seasons and what phases does it go through during its entire life? What happens in its crown, trunk or roots if we look closely? Which animals live there and which forests have developed in the different regions of the world?

The Little Book of Trees takes children into the world of these fascinating plants. A small arborology presents different types of trees and last but not least, the book shows what great things you can do with trees (you can climb trees, build a treehouse in their crown, or lie in their shade and relax …) and familiar objects that have their origin from trees (instruments, paper planes, books …). In the tree quiz on the last double page, children can apply their newly acquired knowledge.

CLAIRE PHILIP is an author and editor who has worked on hundreds of wonderful children’s books. After Little Green Fingers, The Little Book of Trees is her second book with Little Gestalten.

CAROLINE ATTIA is an illustrator and animation filmmaker based in Paris. Her work is all about multimedia story telling. This is the fourth book with Little Gestalten.
