Editora Olhares was founded in 2006 in São Paulo, Brazil, as an independent publishing house dedicated to books about creativity and visual culture. From its base in the Vila Buarque neighbourhood of São Paulo, the publisher built an editorial programme centred on art, photography, design, architecture, urbanism, landscaping, nature, colour, watercolour, drawing, other artistic techniques and manuals, as well as their intersections and tangential themes. The company describes each of its books as the product of careful curation designed to broaden creative horizons and provoke new ways of looking at creative practice. Over the years, Olhares has published and distributed titles by Brazilian and international authors. Its catalogue includes works such as 'Reflexões sobre o design industrial' by Júlio Roberto Katinsky, organised and presented by Ethel Leon with a preface by Ricardo Ohtake; 'Sobre a censura' by the Chinese artist and activist Ai Weiwei; 'Renomear a arquitetura' by Josep Maria Montaner; 'Anatomia artística – Antologia' by Michel Lauricella; 'Como São Paulo come' by Xavier Bartaburu; 'Marcas em tempos de IA' by Mark Kingsley; 'Van Gogh à luz do sol' by Pascal Bonafoux; 'Desenhando pessoas' by Viktorija Semjonova; 'Gregori Warchavchik' by Jayme Vargas; 'Attílio & Gregório' by Rica Oliveira Lima; 'Design brasileiro luminárias'; 'Noel Marinho: o uso imaginoso dos azulejos'; 'Dezoito Graus' by Lauro Cavalcanti; and 'Espécies exóticas' by Gilles Clément and others.

The publisher's work has been recognised with several awards, including the Jabuti Prize, Design MCB, Retratos da Leitura, BDA Prêmio Brasileiro de Design and Bornancini. A notable moment came in 2017, when six Olhares titles were selected among the 50 most relevant works on Brazilian design for the exhibition 'Brasil Hoje – Como se Pronuncia Design em Português', presented in Lisbon. This recognition helped consolidate the publisher's reputation in the fields of design and visual culture in Brazil and abroad. Editora Olhares sells its books directly to readers through its online store at editoraolhares.com.br. The store offers fast shipping, secure payment, instalment plans of up to three interest-free payments for purchases above R$ 150, and payment via boleto.
