Northern Exposure dissects the myth of the Canadian cabin. Moving past the settler fantasy, it reveals what the archetype has become: a powerful refusal of the urban clamor.

As a sharp counterpoint to Cottagecore, these projects strike a balance between the romance of the unreachable and the raw logistics of wilderness building. They form a pluralistic, shared vernacular, a contemporary lens on the Canadian sublime articulated through the country’s remarkably diverse set of landscapes.

Book publishing is actively and constantly reimagined by Gestalten. An extensive range of titles that not only enriches the reader's life, but also promotes ongoing engagement with the surrounding creative landscape.

Gestalten’s origin story began with a focus on the aesthetic, particularly that of graphic design and, over the last two decades, the scope of both its content and its expertise has widened. 

Today, using a myriad of observations of culture, people, art, and other intimate, inspirational informants, Gestalten documents and anticipates vital movements in architecture, visual culture, design & fashion, escapism, food & beverages, travel, and contemporary art.
