‘The next space’

The smart interior design magazine that focuses largely on corporate, public and retail spaces.

This latest issue, themed ‘Speed vs Slowness’, explores our pace of work, delving into our perception of socially acceptable terms of productivity, and examining—as Floor Kuitert asserts in her editorial—‘the role time plays in design.’

Inside, an interview with Limbo Museum founder Dominique Petit-Frère explores how the fallout of rapid urban expansion led to an abundance of unfinished buildings across Ghana’s capital of Accra, catalysing her practice devoted to developing these abandoned structures; a three-way conversation between experts from design studio ForEveryday.Life and The Palace platform, hosted by Kuitert, delves into how long-term planning in urban development is under threat, and the so-called impact of gaming on how future citizens might co-exist; and Nishi Shah investigates if future factories can strike a balance between productivity and worker wellbeing, touching on how future production lines are set to become more machine-centric.
