diaphanes Verlag

DIAPHANES was founded in 2001 with its headquarters in Zurich and a project space in Berlin. Editorial attention to detail and a commitment to fine design are the key factors in their output of books in multiple languages that aim for abiding relevance in their linking of debate and literature, art and the humanities. Well disposed to both the new and all-too-easily forgotten, Diaphanes aims to offer a means of publication that lies beyond the prevailing mainstream and facilitates a productive interchange between highly diverse forms of intellectual perception, and modes of expression. With its classically oriented hard-copy output and its innovative range of e-books Diaphanes addresses itself to an open-minded, critical public for whom books remain an indispensable medium for the transmission of ideas. With its backlist of more than 850 titles in German, English and French, plus its yearly output of some fifty new titles per year, Diaphanes deserves its place amongst the most distinguished of independent publishers.
