This year’s catalogue documents the selected books, exploring the wider context surrounding them through portraits, interviews and editorial contributions. More than an overview, it is a publication about book design as an artistic, cultural and material field. About economics, production, collaboration, formats and the many choices behind every book. Professionalism, material knowledge and a love of books meet curiosity, debate and renewal.

Since 1934, The Best Danish Book Design has highlighted outstanding achievements in Danish book design and craftsmanship. Organised by Forening for Boghaandværk, founded in 1888, the annual selection reflects developments in the book as a designed, produced and material object.

The 2026 selection brings together examples of book design, where content, structure, typography, paper, printing and binding form a whole, alongside publications that challenge conventional ideas of what a book can be. Together, they offer a view of contemporary Danish bookdesign grounded in a long tradition of craftsmanship while remaining open to new forms, methods and ways of thinking about the book.
