What’s so special about coffee table books?
According to predictions by various experts already published several years ago, no one today should willingly hold a printed book in their hands anymore. Yet, young people, in particular, are clinging to the classic medium, enjoying new book designs with features like colorful edge printing and special foil accents. #BookTok is booming: This subcategory of the social media platform TikTok is making fiction go viral, turning unknown newcomers into popular bestsellers within seconds.
Books are read either to entertain with gripping stories or to further one‘s knowledge in a particular field. When both are combined, it’s referred to as infotainment: A photography book focuses specifically on visual aesthetics, accompanied by supporting text. While the images are captivating and moving, the addition of written content provides the educational input. But is this entertaining and informative character really what makes a good illustrated book so fascinating?
A coffee table book is often too large and bulky for a bookshelf, which means it must be placed prominently on the coffee table. Sounds pretty negative for potential buyers, doesn’t it? Not at all, because that’s precisely the essence of an illustrated book. Paul Harris, a psychology professor at Florida’s Rollins College, puts it this way in Architectural Digest “Identity display is the primary motivation for strategically displaying books.” He also believes that choosing a coffee table book can be compared to selecting a poster or even a tattoo. In both processes, we are looking for something that expresses our personality, interests, or values.
Rather than being viewed purely as a status symbol, the coffee table book is an expression of individuality, artfully showcasing the owner’s interests, mood, and taste. The actual consumption of the content becomes increasingly secondary. This is demonstrated by the current TikTok trend, Bookshelf Wealth, where carefully curated book collections are used to create a cozy atmosphere – and elegantly reveal one’s own character. The vintage car book on the coffee table signals to guests that this home is owned by a true car enthusiast. The photography book on the desk, on the other hand, reveals the potential business partner a shared love for visual arts. In other words, unlike fiction, a picture book is one of the mediums through which we communicate our personal style – not in digital realms, but in real life.
Current aesthetic trends, exclusively summarized by teNeues in a later followed trend report, offer necessary guidance in this style discovery. Whether on social media or in classic glossy magazines, our books present the hottest topics everyone will talk about – discover which teNeues coffee table books are especially in tune with your market to maximize sales potential! But before informing you about the trends for 2025, we are happy to present our new spring programme, which invites you to travel, impresses with fast cars, and presents the most beautiful women‘s watches.

teNeues TREND REPORT
The most important aesthetic trends for 2025 and the matching teNeues books at one glance.
Future Dusk – the color of the year
The dark, moody blue-violet represents the modern version of navy blue. As 2025 is considered the year of the second space age, this color tone combines technological progress with the mysterious unknown.
For the Love of Diamonds in
Retro Futurismthe most influential design trend
Retro Futurism focuses on past visions of the future, particularly those from the 1920s to the 1960s - an era shaped by utopian, technological fantasies like flying cars, which significantly influenced the design of furniture, automobiles, fashion, and architecture.
Futuristic designs with curved, aerodynamic shapes and shiny materials such as chrome and glass express a nostalgic longing for a simpler, more optimistic outlook on the future. Everything about this extensive design movement and its many micro-trends in Space Age Design.
mystical Future Dusk.
Revival of the 1990s and 2000s
However, the current wave of nostalgia isn‘t limited to the Back to the Future aesthetic. Especially in fashion and music, the cool ‚90s and bold 2000s keep being the center of attention. Find inspiration in The 1990s Fashion Book and Zero’s Heroes

What to wear in 2025
Whether it‘s ”Denim for Days“ or ”Double Denim,“ this fashion trend goes by many names. But they all come down to one thing: an all-denim look, like the one Britney Spears and Justin Timberlake rocked at the 2001 American Music Awards.
Since last year, the TikTok generation has favored jeans with a bold leopard print, because animal prints are hotter than ever. Please don‘t panic: after leopard print the cow is making its way into our wardrobes. Helpful styling tips can be found in our fashion series:
The most relevant interior & architecture trend
In the world of architecture and interior design, everything revolves around biophilic design. This approach focuses on nature-inspired design, using organic materials and forms derived from nature. The philosophy: sustainability and slowing down, even in urban spaces.
How nature is celebrated as a place of longing in architecture and interior design is showcased in Urban Oasis and Eco Materials:
The 120th anniversary of Rolex
Rolex‘s success story began in 1905, though under a different name at the time. These legendary models will be in the spotlight during the anniversary celebration: 80 years ago, the first Datejust was introduced, and 70 years ago, the first GMT-Master was created.
More about the brand‘s history in The Watch Book Rolex.
Event of the Year: Super Bowl LIX
The annual NFL final is regarded as the biggest sporting event in the USA and the 2024 halftime show was the most-watched in U.S. history. For some time, speculation swirled about whether Taylor Swift, the girlfriend of player Travis Kelce, will perform on February 9 at the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans, but now rap icon Kendrick Lamar is announced to headline.
Following the Kansas City Chiefs‘ spectacular win in 2024, it’s clear that football jerseys, vintage preferred, have now become a staple for the cool crowd – not just for die-hard football fans. According to Google Trends, searches for ”football jersey“ have spiked since the end of March and haven’t slowed down yet. Major brands like Nike and Adidas are increasingly drawing inspiration from the sport as well. It’s official: football fever is in full swing!
