les cerises is an editorial project conceived by Angelika Burtscher, Agnese and Cecilia Canziani and Daniele Lupo: a series of  limited edition wordless books, created by artists, designers and architects who were invited for the first time to create an artist’s book for children.

We are convinced that children know how to deal with images better than adults: the artists we collaborate with are not invited to adapt their work, but to present their language and poetics to a special audience, establishing a relationship of trust between the author, reader and client.

Each title of the series has different formats and materials and is designed together with the authors, in order to give the reader the opportunity to confront themselves with signs, colours, imaginary worlds and shapes that are all different from one another.

les cerises publishes two titles a year, dedicating artisan attention to detail and design to each volume.
