A connoisseur of architecture and design

Oliver Jahn has been Editor-in-Chief at AD Architectural Digest Germany since 2011. He is practically a brand of his own on the international design, interiors and architecture scene. The bibliophile – he has more than 15,000 books on his shelves – studied linguistics, literature and philosophy in Kiel, Germany. He worked at the Suhrkamp publishing house in Frankfurt and the art magazine Monopol before joining AD in 2006, initially as Head of Architecture and Design. As a connoisseur of architecture and design, he was personally involved in the planning and shaping of the new building in Munich where AD’s editorial offices are located.
