Living in the Environment Issue

Issue 62 is the first issue of the year and always a great time to put our best foot forward. With Adam Goodrum, the loveliest man in design, as Guest Editor, we draw on his insights as a furniture designer, artist and educator to look at the makers shaping our design world. Sustainability has never been more important, and increasingly this is a consideration from the start with projects designed to address their immediate environment as well as the longevity of the planet. From the coldest winters to the most tropical of summers, addressing how we live in the environment is crucial to creating the perfect home.

B&B Italia: Poetry in the Shape

As the year of celebrations for B&B’s 50th comes to an end, they have now released to the public the fascinating documentary divulging the company’s enigmatic history.

On 13 April 2017, B&B Italia celebrated two things: the company’s 51st anniversary and the birthday of its founder, Ambrogio Busnelli. The year prior – to mark their momentous 50th anniversary – they released a documentary on the company’s unique and enigmatic history full of exclusive content and little known anecdotes. Initially this doco was shared with a small selection of partners and design enthusiasts. Now, however, the short film is available online from which everyone, globally, can benefit.
