Codex Seraphinianus

Celebrate the surreal with the Codex Seraphinianus: 40th Anniversary Edition, a mesmerising art object by Luigi Serafini. First released in 1981, this visually arresting “encyclopedia” of an imaginary world is now re-envisioned in a stunning new edition, complete with a redesigned cover, deluxe packaging, and 15 never-before-seen drawings, all personally curated by Serafini himself.

Spanning 416 pages, the hefty hardcover presents the original’s intricate, dreamlike illustrations—depicting surreal flora, fauna, bizarre machines, and fantastical anatomies—accompanied by the author’s enigmatic, asemic writing system. More than a book, it’s a conversation piece: beloved by art lovers, linguists, and design aficionados, it straddles the boundary between visual art and tactile experience.

Perfect for collectors, creatives, or anyone obsessed with the uncanny, this edition captures two generations of intrigue. It’s not just a gift—it’s an adventure through a beautifully inscrutable universe. Wrapped in elegance, it’s destined to spark conversation and inspire imagination.
