We produce rare editions, collectible books, and cultural artefacts with artists, photographers, and subcultural voices worldwide.
Working remotely between Jakarta, Brussels, and London, we sit where publishing, curation, and contemporary art converge turning stories into objects that are built to last and inviting collectors to engage and not just own.
“Soi Books is built on over 15 years of publishing experience across art, photography, and culture.”
Since 2022, we've published a growing list of titles under our own imprint, while continuing to author and produce books for other publishers and institutions. Together, this work spans over 30 titles, distributed to collectors, retailers, and museums in more than 25 countries.
Our catalogue includes limited editions, oversized zines, monographs, and collectible works — all designed to last in both private collections and public archives.
Why “Soi” ?
In Thai, soi is a side street. Raw, local, alive; it’s where we first ran a gallery in Bangkok. In French, soi signifies oneself, echoing the years we spent in France, finding our voice as we shaped stories for television and film.
In Vietnamese, soi is a thread. Connecting and revealing; it echoes the commercials and documentaries we shot across Vietnam and the entire ASEAN region.
Three meanings, one approach: ground-level access, unapologetic authorship, global connection.
