esad—idea’s publications address design, the arts, and visual culture from a critical and transdisciplinary perspective. Our list of publications includes exhibition catalogs, monographs, essays, magazines, and journals published in Portuguese and English, reaching a wide audience.

Embracing the diversity of perspectives, typologies, formats, and graphic languages that respond to the exploratory and experimental nature of a Design research center, our publications combine scientific rigor and a plurality of voices, disseminating the history and the latest trends in the field of design to specialized readers, as well as to wider audiences.

We also work in partnership with other leading publishers such as Imprensa Nacional-Casa da Moeda, Fundação Júlio Resende, Orfeu, Tinta-da-China, or Onomatopee. Every year since 2020, readers can find our stand at the Porto Book Fair.
