Founded in 1983 by graphic designer Lars Müller, Lars Müller Publishers is a Zurich-based publishing house specializing in architecture, design, art, photography, and society. Its catalog brings together monographs, historical studies, and books that address cultural and social questions. Across every subject, the publisher treats the book not simply as a carrier of information, but as a designed object in its own right.
The program moves freely across disciplines, from Swiss typography and Japanese design to Latin American architecture, contemporary art, human rights, and the environment. Editorial substance is matched by close attention to typography, materials, and production, giving the catalog a recognizable visual identity. In 2025, Lars Müller Publishers entered a partnership with the Eames Institute of Infinite Curiosity while remaining editorially independent and based in Zurich.
