‘The next space’
The smart interior design magazine that focuses largely on corporate, public and retail spaces.
This latest edition is themed ‘Luxury vs. Necessity’, with editor-in-chief Floor Kuitert arguing in his opening letter that ‘design is at its most compelling when it has to balance opposing and unfamiliar forces’.
In ‘Ones to Watch’, readers are introduced to three studios challenging the inequalities that shape design today: Studio Furthermore rejects ‘rare and expensive’ as measures of value, H3o Architects champion the belief that ‘beauty is owed, not earned’ in social infrastructure design, and Al Borde reframe necessity as inspiration, rather than constraint. Elsewhere, ‘The Conversation’ of this issue examines whether luxury brands can use AI to create genuinely meaningful consumer experiences. Plus, Lauren Morris-Jansen explores the rise of luxury brands using literature to strengthen ties with clients and increase their cultural output—a topic that feels particularly timely following our Selfridges pop-up!
