DISEGNO #6 features Nathalie du Pasquier
Disegno #6 is out. It’s the 5th
issue we stock, and we must say it’s really very good. Designed itself
in a ‘bookish’ way so that it will remain a reference. In-depth
articles, beautiful photography and a wide array of topics regarding
design, architecture and fashion. The focus is strongly on design
though.
In this issue
Nathalie du Pasquier’s work is featured. She‘s a French designer and
artist based in Milan. Her portfolio is based on constructions and is
called ‘The Construction of a Collection and a Collection of
Constructions’.
A
great article about colour in design, an often overlooked subject. Many
designers shine their light about colour in their work. “It’s completely
underappreciated and completely underwritten” says Sebastian Wrong,
creative director of Wrong for Hay.
Konstantin
Grcic talks about his work which is exhibited currently in Vitra’s
Design Museum. And Julia Lohman talks about her work with seaweed as
design material.
Dirty
reading- the current trend of high-end porn-style magazines, the
practices of every day life, major design sets for fashion catwalk shows
and the relation with branding, forests as idea generator are among the
many pages to read and leaf through. Very much worth doing so!

The Newscentre on Monocle's THE STACK show & MONOCLE #73
Did we tell you we were at Facing Pages this year and had a great time? :-)
Monocle Radio's The Stack show was also present and made this nice audio impression of the independent magazines biennale. Magazine makers, organisers and our very own Anneke Reijnders talking about Athenaeum Nieuwscentrum and our love for independent magazines.
The show is very interesting for independent magazines and print lovers anyway, so you should check out this episode:

BERLIN QUARTERLY #1
Berlin Quarterly is a new magazine from Berlin that reminds us a bit of Lapham's Quarterly, Boat, Apology and The White Review. The editors look at the world from the German capitol via essays, short stories, poetry, illustration and photography.
This first issue opens with an extended report on Belgrade after Milosevic. They dive into the city and it's changes since the 90's with beautiful pictures.
After that an interview with Edwin Frank from the New York Review of Books Classics series, a short illustrated biography on biologist Ernst Haeckel, Chinese cities portrayed by photographer Sze Tsung Leong and poetry by Ujana Wolf in English translation.

There's a hole in ADBUSTERS # 112
There's a hole in the new issue of ADBUSTERS, a hole pierced right through the entire issue demanding it's space in the design. Sometimes it looks like some world leaders are assassinated and sometimes the hole is just a left out circle on a page that is there being a hole. Must have been a big job for the designers of the magazine to fit the text on the pages just outside of the hole.
They say on the front cover: you don't need a therapist: just buy this magazine. You can do that here.
