Design Anthology

Magazine / Issue 39 has just landed on shelves and in subscriber mailboxes around the world. In this issue, we stop off in Tokyo, Seoul and Shanghai in Dossier, while Wanderlust has us checking out Kyoto and Mongolia’s Orkhon Valley. Then it’s up to London and Venice for our Vernissage section, down to Bangkok, Bali, Singapore and Australia’s Mornington Peninsula for our Homes section and then back to the Thai capital for Architectonics If you’ve been paying attention, you’ll spot a pair of new names heading the masthead, but bar a few tweaks, the new issue continues many of the conventions established over the past decade, and as always we'll continue to look for the Design Anthology take on design, architecture, travel, fashion and art And for first time ever, you can now read every story from the new issue on our website with one of our brand-new memberships.
