Design Anthology UK, Issue 16

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 December of 2018, Design Anthology UK sent its first issue to the printers. We made a magazine of beauty and substance, and now, we’re marking the fifth anniversary of D/A UK with a special edition (our 16th issue) celebrating the formidable female talent we’ve covered going back to issue 01. Our cover stars include the inimitable Tatjana von Stein, Sophie Ashby, Edeline Lee, Louisa Grey, Clémence Pirajean, Sinta Tantra, Laura Fulmine, Emily Potter, Sheena Murphy, Mimi Odeinde, Cassandra Ellis, Natsai Audrey Chieza, Genevieve Bennett and Pooja Agrawal. Their work spans art, design, interiors, architecture, colour philosophy, fashion and biotechnology. We are proud to promote what they have achieved in this very special issue, produced with love by the D/A UK team. Elsewhere in this edition you will find homes in Denmark, the American South and Spain; the mesmerising, multi-faith Temple of Light by James Gorst Architects; a Marrakech riad carefully restored by its owners, lifestyle duo LRNCE; Matthew Hilton’s foray into sculpture, and much more. Enjoy.
