Birkenstock both sets and transcends trends, offering something for everyone--and for everyone the same: quality, comfort and sustainability.\u003cbr\u003e\u003ci\u003eOld Mills Never Die\u003c\/i\u003e comprises five books of varied size and design, each reflecting a different aspect of the Birkenstock universe. In \u003ci\u003eWalk This Way\u003c\/i\u003e Henry Leutwyler reveals the little-known treasures of Birkenstock's archive, his photographs drawing out the characters of the still-life objects. In \u003ci\u003eFactories: Made in Germany\u003c\/i\u003e Werner Bartsch documents some of the people that define Birkenstock today: the over 6,000 employees who combine the most advanced production technology with traditions of hand craftsmanship unchanged over decades. Juergen Teller, in his trademark subversive and ironic style, captures Birkenstocks as the ultimate fashion object in editorial shoots and on everyday people in \u003ci\u003eGolborne Road\u003c\/i\u003e. \u003ci\u003eGraphic Designer\u003c\/i\u003e explores the pioneering graphic art and typological approach of Carl Birkenstock (1900-82). Finally, \u003ci\u003eThe Book of Birkenstock\u003c\/i\u003e is an ambitious timeline of the company from 1774 until today. Wrapped in a Furoshiki cloth and packed in a wooden box, \u003ci\u003eOld Mills Never Die\u003c\/i\u003e is the first publication to comprehensively present Birkenstock's ongoing story and place in cultural history--in its own words, \"often copied, never equaled.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e","brand":"Steidl","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51811732783378,"sku":"9783969993521","price":168.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0831\/4771\/8930\/files\/img_020d6191-1213-4036-8760-1d9118bfe51f.jpg?v=1766489347","url":"https:\/\/surprise-castle.myshopify.com\/products\/birkenstock-old-mills-never-die-9783969993521","provider":"Surprise Castle","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
