Manera – Issue 05, Benelux Edition

MANERA aims to become a platform for dialogue and discovery. Through its quarterly print publication, online presence, events and podcast series, MANERA will embrace abroad vision of decoration, where beauty, aesthetics, and artistic sensibility come together to shape its content. The high-quality and independent print magazine publishing landscape is experiencing an excellent moment, and MANERA is a prime example. Niche magazines, meticulously crafted and conceived almost as objects, are captivating readers increasingly overwhelmed by the flood of images on social media. It’s the new golden age of magazines. Publications with fresh perspectives focus on topics such as coffee culture, plants, tennis… and, of course, interior design and décor.

At MANERA, we believe that the home can be the best extension of oneself, a collection of experiences that brings us well-being. In recent times our homes have served as a refuge and now we are keen to enjoy them in a more diverse way. A new MANERA is born to reimagine interiors, one that is more open and sustainable. Interior design has the power to make our lives more aesthetically pleasing and comfortable, even happier.

In this issue:

Welcome to the new issue of MANERA: 324 pages filled to the brim with design, interiors, art, and architecture, all captured through our singular aesthetic lens. In this edition, we feature 12 extraordinary homes around the globe, from the quiet elegance of Knokke to the wild coastlines of Costa Rica, and across the cultural capitals of Paris and Amsterdam. A standout feature takes us inside the Milanese sanctuary of Emiliano Salci, co-founder of the legendary Dimore Studio. These are living spaces defined by genuine personality, tactile depth, and architectural soul. MANERA sat down for candid interviews with designer Laurids Gallée and artist Jasper Krabbé, and we present a stunning editorial featuring the finest new wallpapers and fabrics, shot on location at Teylers Museum in Haarlem—the Netherlands’ oldest museum. Beyond that, we mark two centuries of master craftsmanship at Belgian crystal glassmaker Val Saint Lambert, explore photographer Edward Steichen’s profound relationship with nature, and present an extensive look at the latest design news, fresh novelties, and notable re-editions reshaping modern interiors.
