ABOUT THE BOOK

Book of Birkenstock

BIRKENSTOCK 250 BOOK

A HISTORY: 1774-2024

The Book of BIRKENSTOCK is a premium coffee table title that takes the reader on an immersive, never-before-seen journey through the brand’s remarkable visual history.

Created in collaboration with BIRKENSTOCK by two visionary names in graphic design and publishing—Bureau Borsche and Steidl—the project offers a lush storytelling tapestry, weaving together 250 years of tradition in shoemaking across 688 pages.

Developed, designed, and printed in Germany, this new tome is crafted with a multitude of premium, German-made paper stocks, reflecting the tactile, handmade nature of the BIRKENSTOCK product, topped off with a beautifully debossed cover. While magnificent to hold, the title’s true richness comes to life through the rare and unseen material that comprises a timeline traversing 1,000 images and tens of thousands of words of relevant text. From the biggest names in film and fashion to a fascinating story of the Birkenstock family history, the book is a true visual time capsule of a quarter-millennium story of tradition, function, and quality.
