Forlaget Klematis

Forlaget Klematis was a Danish publishing house founded in 1987 by Jaume Ferrer and Claus Dalby. Claus Dalby is known in Denmark both as the host of several television gardening programmes and as the author of numerous gardening books, and this personal profile shaped the publisher's list. Klematis specialised in hobby books and in books for children and young people. Beyond gardening titles, it published books on subjects such as needlework and handicrafts, and it also issued literary works, including the anthology Digtere om Danmark. Several of the house's titles were released in English, giving the imprint a modest international reach beyond its Danish home market. According to the Danish CVR business register, the publishing company was later dissolved, and its activities were continued within Claus Dalby's own business, clausdalby.dk. The former website klematis.dk now redirects to clausdalby.dk, where Dalby's books and shop are presented. As a result, Forlaget Klematis is best understood today as a defunct Danish niche publisher whose catalogue and author-driven identity live on through its co-founder's personal brand.

Forlaget Klematis was established in Denmark in 1987 by Jaume Ferrer and Claus Dalby. Claus Dalby had become a familiar figure in Danish media as the host of several television gardening programmes and as the author of a number of gardening books, and the publishing house he co-founded reflected that expertise. Klematis concentrated on hobby books and on books for children and young people. Its catalogue extended beyond gardening to include practical titles on handicrafts and needlework, as well as literary works such as the anthology Digtere om Danmark. Several of the publisher's titles were also issued in English, indicating that its books travelled beyond the Danish-language market. In time, the business was wound down: according to the Danish CVR register, the publishing company was dissolved, and its activities were continued within Claus Dalby's own business, clausdalby.dk. The old klematis.dk web address now redirects to clausdalby.dk, where Dalby's books and shop are presented to visitors. The Klematis imprint therefore belongs to the history of small, author-driven Danish publishers, and its legacy is carried forward through the personal brand of its co-founder.
