Kinfolk, Volume 14 – The Winter Issue

Kinfolk is a growing community of artists with a shared interest in small gatherings. We recognize that there is something about a table shared by friends, not just a wedding or once-a-year holiday extravaganza, that anchors our relationships and energizes us. We have come together to create Kinfolk as our collaborative way of advocating the natural approach to entertaining that we love.

Every element of Kinfolk —the features, photography, and general aesthetics—are consistent with the way we feel entertaining should be: simple, uncomplicated, and less contrived. Kinfolk is the marriage of our appreciation for art and design and our love for spending time with family and friends.

In this issue:
This edition has a seasonal theme that brings the focus back to the magazine’s core goals, ideas and values. The issue features personal essays, simple recipes, meaningful photo essays and portraits of people living the good life.
It also offers inspiration to do some indoor sparring; Professor Deane Curtin talking about eating in the moment; sculptures that show the way our bodies change when chilled; a visit to a hot spring; home tours in Copenhagen and Melbourne; a profile of a changing neighborhood in South East London; and something to inspire you while commuting.

Kinfolk 14 also contains a special themed section about Light, one of the most missed aspects of our winter days, with features on circadian rhythms, solstice traditions and the aurora borealis, along with profiles on artists and designers who work with light. Along with lots of things to cook, make and do, Kinfolk suggests ways to live a more creative, simple, connected life.
