Luster

A Belgian publisher of inspiring books on travel, food, design, art and culture. Our ambition is to share inspiring places, captivating creations and worlds where one would like to dwell forever. These are the kind of bright spots and treasures that Luster is looking for and cherishes. The subjects we cover are quite diverse but usually have something to do with cultural history, architecture, art, design, interior, photography, food, urban space or travel. Within these fields our love goes out to things that have something simple and pure about them but that are at the same time extraordinary and anything but bland. The city guides of our succesful series of 'The 500 Hidden Secrets' are written by real locals who summarise their city in 100 lists of 5 addresses or facts, relating to food and drink, accommodation, shopping and culture. The authors always try to go off the beaten track, selecting lesser known places, which have yet to be found by the tourist hordes. In some cases, their suggestions include places and facts many of the cities’ residents have yet to discover, making The 500 Hidden Secrets the guide even locals count on. They are the perfect gift for all your local or international relations. Of course we offer the possibility of personalising these and other books for your organization. Most of our books are in English, or are available in several languages.
