After several years of working in the publishing business, we (Kerstin Forster and Andrea Wiegelmann) decided to start up our own publishing house and founded Triest Verlag für Architektur, Design und Typografie in May 2015. Triest stands for exclusive, beautifully designed books for specialists produced to the highest quality standards and for choice special editions crafted specifically for well-informed people who are often specialists in their field. In the various areas of our programme we cater for a range of focal topics that we accompany with a programme of events geared to the specific titles with the aim of discussing the subject matter of our books with our readers and developing on the various topics. Since 2017 we have been a member of SWIPS – Swiss Independent Publishers. Triest Verlag receives a grant for the years 2021 to 2025 from the Federal Office of Culture as part of the Swiss publishers’ subsidies.
