About Tra Publishing
Each book at Tra Publishing is a singular experience that has been painstakingly created in response to and with the utmost regard for the contents. In order to produce books about fine and decorative arts, architecture, and design that promote social, cultural, and environmental consciousness, Tra works closely and frequently in collaboration with artists and writers. Books that are works of art and ways of expression in and of themselves are produced by placing a focus on the physical aspects of the bookmaking process. Ilona Oppenheim, a Swiss-born graphic designer and novelist, established Tra in Miami in 2016. With the aid of Oppenheim's creative consultation company, Ilona Creative Studio, the publishing house expands on fifteen years of superior design. The idea of Tra Publishing was to produce exquisite, significant, and unique books that readers could hold in their hands as opposed to reading digitally. According to Oppenheim, in today's overindulgent and technologically advanced society, they believe that the tactile action of holding and reading a book is a thoughtful experience that fosters a true connection to life.
