Published by The Modernist Society, the small-format and currently square-shaped The Modernist (its shape changes regularly) explores 20th century architecture and design via quarterly, themed-issues.
Each year they move to another initial letter: 2025 is ‘O’, and opens with the Object issue. ‘Are some of these objects outlandish? Definitely. Are they a bit outdated? Possibly. Does this make them obsolete? We argue otherwise!’
Look back at the Rotring pen—the graphic designer’s pre-digital best friend—the Kenwood Chef food mixer, the Kodak Instamatic camera, and experience the death of the analogue phone while pondering our obsession with old cassette tapes.
