WHAT IS NHP PUBLISHING?In early 2013, the New Heroes & Pioneers publishing house – based in Malmö, Sweden – was little more than the kernel of an idea in our minds. Our plan was to develop and publish a range of coffee table books containing a smart, interesting and eclectic mixture of art, culture and fashion.
What made this concept unique, was that we were, right from the beginning, dedicated to being a vehicle for discovering and pro-moting new and unknown artists whose singular styles and per-spectives make them stand out. The concepts of ‘making human connections’ and ‘giving back’ were woven into the fabric of the corporate culture and have become a clear and conscious part of every project since the company’s inception.

WHAT WE BELIEVE INWe believe that culture can be found every-where. In searching for new and extraordinary culture, we are challenging the Catch-22 stating that you have to be famous to be published.
We know that there are amazing, unknown tal-ents out there, and we make it our mission to discover them and give them the chance to show their work.
We find heroes and pioneers of culture and together we create extraordinary coffee table books.
We believe that there is a lot of good to be done in the world.
Being a business is not only about making profit but doing something good with that profit.
And because we believe that culture should be accessible to everyone, we are creating and pub-lishing carefully curated material every day for our online magazine.
We also believe that any company culture is great culture and every company deserves their own story to be told.
OUR COMMISSION BOOKS PHILOSOPHY
We are committed to publishing extraordinary culture. We provide a platform for writers, art-ists, designers and photographers share their creative talents.
Be rememberedMost marketing campaigns are immediately for-gotten or discarded with a single click. Give your contacts something worth keeping. Compile and preserve your organisation’s lega-cy.
Share expertiseTake readers behind the scenes and show them what you know best, from manufacturing pro-cesses to award-winning product design. Estab-lish your credentials with a corporate history, case studies, testimonials, quotes and more.
Tell your storyCelebrate successes, anniversaries, new head-quarters, product launches and more with a keepsake for your employees and partners. Rein-force your unique history and vision and empha-size shared goals.
Be unexpectedControl how your story is shared and what your talking points are. Generate interest in a new project or reaffirm your organisation’s identity. Mix powerful imagery with thoughtful content to deliver a clear and lasting message.
Brand YourselfSurprise your audience with a physical reminder of what your company represents. Tell your story in a format worth displaying and sharing. When everyone goes online, you’ll stand out by some-thing more permanent.

COMING JUNE 2017Did you ever notice culture rhymes with sulfur? The edgy and ex-citing The seven Deadly Cultural Sins collection gives seven fall-en photographers the opportunity to redeem themselves through the exploration of the excesses of the cultural world. Each pho-tographer picked their favourite Deadly Sin and pictured it at play within our modern societies. Pope Gregory the Great might turn in his grave as the series pushes the boundaries of sin and temp-tation through visuals delving into cultural indulgence and the inextricable roles of the culture of sin and the sin in culture.
