Aatos Editions
Finnish for ‘thought’, Aatos was founded by Mikael Lilius in Helsinki in 2024. Aatos is a company that exists to share insights for better living and a smarter world. In more practical terms, they create beautifully designed books that contribute to society – providing enlightenment about our shared reality.
Aatos publishes high-quality versions of intelligent books, unrestricted by genre. However, they are largely drawn to reproduce works of non-fiction, specifically philosophy.
“We believe valuable insights are to be found across genres and styles, which means we will be keeping our minds open to quality content, no matter the form it happens to take. Our publishing schedule starts out with the fundamental classics, and from there we work our way towards newer, original and more niche texts.”
Aatos books are beautifully redesigned classics. Although not satisfied with offering merely pleasing aesthetics, their books are enriched in terms of written content too. A separate section dedicated to the author is provided across the range.
“We believe that the works of our authors gain further clarity and meaning when contrasted with the events of their lives and times – which we bring forth. In addition, where possible, we further enhance our books with relevant essays and other materials to bring even greater depth to the title at hand. Put together, the exceptional designs, additional content and timeless texts elevate Aatos books beyond the usual.”
