Founded in 2003 by Patrick and Giuliana Le Noël, L’ippocampo is an independent publishing house and a leader in the field of illustrated books for adults and children. Its catalogue stands out for the high quality of its publications and the attention paid to the aesthetics and graphic design of its volumes, which range from art to fashion, science to history. Among its most successful series are Sfilate, produced in direct collaboration with the most famous haute couture fashion houses, and Infografiche, the reference series for history enthusiasts, edited by leading experts in the field in a fresh and intuitive infographic format.

When addressing children, L’ippocampo’s goal is to stimulate their curiosity while educating their eye for beauty. The children’s catalogue also combines rich content with a refined yet appealing aesthetic for young readers, thanks to leading international illustrators and artists such as Benjamin Lacombe, Cruschiform, Hervé Tullet, MinaLima, Clotilde Perrin and Guillaume Duprat.
