Design Anthology UK, Issue 14

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:

In issue 14, we speak to colour maven Cassandra Ellis in her townhouse-cum-showroom in Bath. We explore the pared back interiors of jewellery brand CompletedWorks’ new London outpost, designed by Hollie Bowden. We look at the sculptural design of Mimi Shodeinde and her newly opened Islington gallery. We visit meticulously finished, thoughtful homes in the Hebrides, central California and Paris. We look at Part W, a new initiative highlighting women’s previously overlooked contribution to landmark buildings in London. We hear from designer Maria Sole Farragamo about creativity rooted in family legacy and her new retail space in Milan. Plus, hotel openings of note, style picks and an art diary for the books. Enjoy!
