The Travel Collection brings Essentialist’s travel philosophy into a tangible object. The book was created to be more than a guide: a space to pause, look, and connect with each destination, with each page designed so that reading is as intentional as traveling.

Beyond a Guide

Designed as a collectible object, the book invites quiet contemplation rather than just travel inspiration. Each page encourages readers to pause, breathe, and see the world through the eyes of locals and editors who value substance over noise. Its visual and typographic composition reflects this principle: elegant simplicity, attention to detail, and subtle connection to the travel experience.

A world built by curious minds

The book is meant to feel timeless. With a clean, considered design, printed in limited quantity, it offers a tactile experience that invites turning pages and getting lost in each destination. Materials and typography reflect warm minimalism, while the balance of image and text creates a visual flow reminiscent of travel itself: contemplative, surprising, and expansive.

The essence of a place

In an age of fast content and fleeting experiences, the book is a slow, intentional object that mirrors how travel should feel. It reminds us there is always more to discover, not just far away, but in the details. Each chapter invites readers to reconnect with that feeling: wonder, connection, and curiosity sparked by the world.
