OLAF NICOLAI x SUHRKAMP

75 years ago, Willy Fleckhaus gave the Bibliothek Suhrkamp series its iconic cover design and visual language. With 30 Colours for Willy Fleckhaus (2026), Olaf Nicolai reworks this system, bringing new life to its timeless grammar through mathematically calculated colour combinations. A once purely functional design now emerges as conceptual structure.

Olaf Nicolai did not just preserve the series, he activated it, revealing the Bibliothek Suhrkamp as a vividly living form.
