Design Anthology (Asia Edition), Issue 42

Design Anthology is Asia’s new quarterly magazine for interior design and more.

As an independent publisher, we have created the type of design magazine we want to read — cleaner looking than other design magazines, more focussed in its editorial, and much more sophisticated in its tone. We want to provide a reading experience that will transport you and inspire you.

Each issue features quality writing by an international team on art, interiors, design, architecture and travel, and you’ll quickly see we place great importance on the quality and size of the photographs we publish.

Our team brings you into the homes of aesthetes worldwide, behind the scenes at the best industry events, and up to date with the latest products and projects around the world.

We see Design Anthology as a celebration of the burgeoning creative and cultural scene in Asia. Making up more than half of the world’s population, this is an important place.

Printed in Hong Kong on FSC-certified paper, and available on newsstands internationally, Design Anthology is a magazine for design connoisseurs, sybarites and bon vivants.

In this issue: 

This issue of Design Anthology moves from a converted church turned family home in Christchurch to a jungle estate built from reclaimed timber in Bali, a concrete house wrapped in planting in Kuala Lumpur and a clever urban apartment in Singapore. We revisit a legendary Tokyo hotel after its long-awaited renovation, check in to a new Bangkok address challenging its founder’s escapist roots and trace a three-day itinerary through Mumbai’s historic neighbourhoods. Elsewhere, a new generation experiments with one of Southeast Asia’s most storied textiles and a modernist gallery in Vietnam connects emerging artists with collectors, alongside a global round-up of favourite new hotels, books, objects, places and more.
