A new hardback title from the team behind Present Space which, much like its sister publication, takes a visual and considered approach to its subjects: ‘a cross-continental collection of architecture, design, travel, food, wellness and fashion’.
Eero Sarrinen's cult terminal-turned-hotel at Idlewild Airport in New York—shot by Sean Davidson—makes for a striking debut cover, and gives a sense for other features inside. Find two more New York hotels in the Hotel Chelsea and The Mercer; interviews with chefs Elena Reygades and Enrique Olvera; beautifully curated travel objects; ski coats from Loro Piana.
There’s also a healthy dose of sports too, with features on Arsenal striker Lotte Wubben-Moy and French surfer Juliette Lacombe, plus possibly the most elegantly presented five-day workout guide from personal trainer Max Shannon.
