Spring catalogue 2026

All over the world, under the most diverse political, cultural, geographical and climatological conditions, people are fighting for a sustainable future for our planet. One of the fundamental battlegrounds concerns our food system. Good Food, the life’s work of photographer Ruud Sies and creative director Hanneke van Hintum, documents how agriculturalists around the world are combining the latest scientific insights and technology with traditional knowhow in an effort to build a healthy, sustainable food chain. Sies and Van Hintum travelled across five continents collecting stories and images. Good Food, published to accompany the exhibition of the same name in the Nederlands Fotomuseum, is a powerful and hopeful account of ‘food resilience’ and shows how farmers and agricultural entrepreneurs demonstrate that it is possible to do things differently, more healthily, and sustainably.

The richness and potential of centuries-old traditions and techniques for solving the urgent problems of our time also inspired Timbercraft, a study of traditional timber joinery from China, Japan and Korea. These traditions can bolster the current interest in timber construction as a sustainable, circular building method with useful and ingenious solutions and techniques. With beautifully detailed drawings and Joost Grootens’ sensitive and meticulous graphic design, this book is a treasure trove of ideas and inspiration for general readers and architects alike.

With the photo book by Angèle Etoundi Essamba (Thèmes), who has been showcasing the strength, pride and self-assurance of African women for the past four decades, and The Sinful Son’s intense, intimate and colourful analogue photo portraits documenting the queer scene in Beautiful Creatures, our spring catalogue offers two more books that employ photographic imagery to reveal something essential about our society, to give it a platform and to celebrate it. Diversity, hope, strength. More necessary than ever.
