Flat & Bound offers a collection of rare posters and books on design, architecture, and art topics to an interested public at fair prices. It gives connoisseurs the opportunity to supplement and expand their own collections. Hidden away in archive cabinets, analogue testimonies cannot unfold their full effect.
Over the past decades, I have been an avid collector of posters and books, sometimes coming upon treasures by chance in antiquarian bookshops or junk stores around the world. Others were exchanged with friends or were gifts, for example from the archive of my mentor Josef Müller-Brockmann (1914–1996). Flat & Bound probably offers the largest selection of posters by this master.
Rare and hard to find are also the posters of AG Fronzoni (1923–2002), whom I have admired since my early years as a graphic designer. His designs are hard to beat for radical clarity.
Newly added are a large number of magazines and catalogs, complete series and many single issues to complete your own collection.
