Issue 04

In issue 04 of Design Anthology UK we pay homage to the five human senses with an atmospheric shoot of design objects, to slightly eerie effect. We hear the story of a Dutch artist’s serene abode within a cargo boat moored outside of Amsterdam; we peek inside a newly restored 17th century cottage in Connecticut, which has been given a contemporary treatment by transatlantic practice, Nune; we speak to two friends who have started a business sourcing and selling beautiful, rare posters created in Poland after World War II; we trawl the streets of Columbia’s sprawling, high-altitude capital, Bogotá, to find a vibrant food and design scene; we visit San Sebastián and the sculpture park created by revered artist Eduardo Chillida, which has recently re-opened after a nine year hiatus; we speak to the founders of Ninety Percent, the ethical fashion label that only keeps 10% of its profits, plus more.
