The Book of Birkenstock

1774年、ドイツの靴職人の家系にその起源を持つビルケンシュトック(Birkenstock)。本書は、健康のためのフットウェアとして生まれ、近年ではディオール(Dior)やリック・オウエンス(Rick Owens)といったブランドとも協業しファッションシーンにおいても確固たる地位を築いてきた、この稀有なブランドの250年にわたる歴史をヴィジュアルでたどる一冊です。

本書では、未公開を含む膨大な図版を収録し、豊富なビジュアルでブランドが歩んできた道のりを辿ります。ブランドの哲学の核であり、世界中の愛用者を支えるフットベッドの製造工程を収めたドキュメンタリー写真も収録されており、その品質と手仕事への信念を伝えます。本書の出版を手がけるのは、ドイツを拠点に高品質なアートブックを世に送り出し続けるシュタイデル(Steidl)。アートディレクションは、ミュンヘンを拠点に活動するデザインスタジオ、ビューロー・ボルシェ(Bureau Borsche)が担当しています。選定された様々な紙、美しい印刷、手触りの良いデボス加工のカバーなど、本そのものでも優れたクラフトマンシップを見ることができます。

The Birkenstock brand is adored the world over for its footwear and commitment to high-quality European production. Its sandals and the famous cork footbed they harness have filtered into countless cultures and subcultures over many decades. Today, Birkenstocks are icons of style, individualism and self-expression. For the first time, the rich visual history of the Birkenstock brand and the creativity it has inspired over the years is coming together in book form. The Book of Birkenstock provides a lush, image-led history of the company, its family origins in shoemaking, and its relationship with the health and fashion industries over the years. It also offers a peek behind the scenes into the company’s German production processes that form the Birkenstock footbed, appreciated by millions of wearers.

Enhancing this narrative, the Book of Birkenstock is not just a publication but a premium product in itself, mirroring the brand’s dedication to excellence. It boasts beautiful printing and finishing, with a debossed cover for a tactile sense of luxury. The array of paper stocks has been meticulously selected, with art direction by Munich’s Bureau Borsche, known for its expertise in creating high-end, cutting-edge publications. This attention to detail ensures that each page turn is an experience in itself, inviting readers to not only engage with the content but also to appreciate the fine craftsmanship of the book. Launching in 2024, a landmark year for Birkenstock in which it celebrates its 250-year family tradition in shoemaking, this book is the perfect companion for its many fans—from high fashion aficionados to casual wearers. This project is a testament to Birkenstock’s enduring legacy and a celebration of its continuous influence on footwear and fashion.
