About

des pair books was founded in 2019 in New York. The project began as a small press focused on publishing emerging authors and building connections within the East Coast literary community. In 2021, des pair moved to Los Angeles to expand into a physical bookstore in Echo Park, featuring a rotating presentation of work by practicing artists.

In Fall 2022, des pair opened a second location inside Jeffrey Deitch Gallery in West Hollywood.

des pair also offers library curation for private clients, retailers, hotels, designers, and more. Please email us to learn more.
