Far away yet intriguingly familiar. WOTH n08 embraces the fruitful crossovers between Dutch designers and craftsmen in Arita, brandstores in Tokyo, hotels and museums around Japan. Featuring interviews with Richard Hutten, Stefan Scholten of Scholten Baijings and Sayaka Yamomoto of BCXSY + a 10 page graphic powerportfolio by Sigrid Calon, designer known from the SuperGeometric interior of the Uniqlo flagship store in New York. The extensive photo-journal of Iwan Baan delivers two lengthy travelreports discovering the serene beauty of Japan, it’s landscape and architecture by Sui Fujimoto, Toyo Ito and SANAA. Clean lines always need stark contrasts; we think. So delve into the patterns and colors of the Paris apartment of illustrator Pierre Marie Agin or the Prenzlauer haus of the Kubishik family (Berlin). Our WOTHSON calendar selects the most exiting exhibitions on design, craft, multimedia and arts currently showing in museums around the world. If it's content that really makes you tick (cleverly written, enticingly crafted and well printed): start considering WOTH Wonderful Things Magazine seriously. WOW
