“In an era that demands constant yet fragmented attention, anxieties pops out in more places and situation than before, giving tiny yet perpetual pressure to our daily life. There are generations who lives in this uncomfortable land, yet despite the demands and pressure, they thrive. This generations are those who are able to dare the era’s climate, by having laser focus vision, emotional flexibility, and anxiety as a fuel to push through.”

Pear Press is a collaborative project of Simpul Group with one of the biggest publishers in Indonesia, Gramedia Pustaka Utama. Pear Press itself is a book label created for the generations that carries traits such as daring, anxious, and continuously breaking the borders. It is a project that works as an outlet for us to address our anxiety regarding the existence of books for these today’s dominant generations. We work with Gramedia Pustaka Utama to publish the stories which we curate, acquire, edit, and most of it, design under
the Pear Press label.
