Design Anthology UK, Issue 17

Design Anthology UK is a triannual print magazine spotlighting the best of design, architecture, art, travel and style across Europe. As with Design Anthology, our sister publication in Asia, we combine the highest production values with thought-provoking content, setting a new standard for premium design and lifestyle titles in the UK.

When we were shaping ideas for the inaugural issue, we asked two questions: What is our point of view? And, when there are countless other magazines covering design in Europe: Why now? The answer is fairly straightforward. We believe there is room for a new kind of considered, premium title that champions quality, beauty and innovative thinking.

Each issue is put together by our network of writers, photographers, editors and stylists – all bound by a commitment to creativity and candor. Far from a glossy catalogue to be discarded, Design Anthology UK is a collectible volume made by people who are passionate about print.

In this issue:

With simple pleasures in mind, issue 17 is an ode to the cycle of the seasons: our spring/summer edition is a celebration of coming out of winter darkness into lighter days, meeting friends in beautiful settings and travelling to far- flung locales. Here you will find a photo essay from the wilds of Mozambique(p44); thoughtful and immaculately detailed homes in Madrid (p54), Paris(p66) and New York (p78); new hotels and restaurants from London to Mexico (p36), and, the thing we’re am most excited about, a refresh of the back page, which will now hold a culture edit from established personalities and tastemakers from D/A UK’s spheres of interest. First up is London-based interior designer Linda Boronkay (p128), who opens up about her love of Jungle and the work of her creative hero, Es Devlin. Enjoy!
