‘Look at the scenery, read the magazine’
Gorgeously put together, Scenery is a thick-bodied and bold interiors magazine full of rich and alluring visuals and created by well known magazine-people, Simon B. Mørch and Alister Mackie.
‘The word Scenery’, writes editor Simon Mørch, ‘refers to the landscapes and interiors that inspire us. The details of the spaces that colour our lives, the curiosities and characters we collect. The places we choose to spend our time, and why we choose to spend our time in them.’
This fifth issue presents three distinct covers to choose from, offering a glimpse into the studios, homes and cultural establishment’s featured within. Inside, readers are invited into the spaces where creativity takes shapes, opening with a journey through archival photographs of the Anglo-Polish artist Feliks Topolski’s studio, followed by a behind-the-curtains look at the daily lives of dancers at The Royal Ballet and a visit to the home of Nabil Nahas, one of Lebanon’s most celebrated artists. Elsewhere, explore the two residences of Jasper Conran—from his former-ballroom London flat, furnished with Buckingham Palace dining tables and Yves Saint Laurent’s porcelain collection, to his leafier Dorset retreat. Plus, for those who prefer a less curated, lived-in space, a home by the water on the island of Rousay in Orkney offers a quiet and charming escape.
