Design awards 2021, part 2
Our first ever Design Awards are here, honouring the year’s 50 most thoughtfully made objects and buildings.
Let there be light
Homeware brand Trame is out to add hits of colour to our homes and bid farewell to a life of beige.
Step to it
Durable, desirable shoes can’t just be cobbled together. The team at Glent knows that every footprint is unique and crafts its loafers accordingly.
Making the case
It’s time to pack your bags (in a good way) and Japan’s Masumi Hono has just the design to get you moving.
Go where the art is
For those seeking to take their creative flair seriously this year, we heartily recommend taking the plunge and enrolling at one of the world’s finest design schools.
Stitch in time
We size up the family-run Swiss fabric producer putting a new spin on age-old traditions.
Art and soul
Smart collectors follow their taste but also have a nose for new fields. We speak to four insiders about where the art market is heading and what sectors are piquing their interest.
Neighbourhood watch
Architect Kengo Kuma has graced a provincial Japanese town with a studio for storied watch-maker Grand Seiko.
Hidden gems
Craft and quality of the kind that only time can confer rule our round-up for the new season – a time to be expressive in the way you dress.
Deal makers
We visit the furniture-making powerhouse in western Austria that is catching the eye of firms in search of superior craftsmanship.
