They have decided: Among the numerous submissions to our survey for the best design bookstore, one was by far the frontrunner. Its name: pro qm.

Pro qm co-founder Katja Reichard enthusiastically accepted the first "form bookstore award" at the Frankfurt Book Fair.

The conference on packaging design, which we conceptualized together with Heidelberger Form, took place in Cologne. With renowned designers such as Andreas Unger, Günter Horntrich, Mike Meiré, and many others, participants were able to discuss packaging strategies, exchange success secrets, and deepen their professional knowledge in workshops. We offer an introduction with articles on successful packaging design, clichés about gender stereotypes, and TV-exclusive labels.
