Disegno Magazine No. 12

Disegno Magazine No. 12 is designed by Disegno’s creative directors, Annahita Kamali and Florian Böhm of Studio AKFB, and features a series of reportages, essays, reviews and conversations.

Highlights in the issue include a photoessay on OMA’s Fondaco dei Tedeschi, Venice’s first department store; a conversation between Roksanda Ilinčić and David Adjaye on how their respective fields intersect; a travelogue from Tehran examining the city’s post-sanctions design community; an insider’s report on the UNESCO World Heritage List, illuminated by the case studies of Le Corbusier and Frank Lloyd Wright; and an ode to styrene written by Raymond Queneau.

To celebrate five years of Disegno, the magazine approached nine designers to participate in a special project that re-imagines the act of toasting for contemporary society. The resultant rituals blend function, symbolism, and social critique, and are featured in the pages of Disegno #12.

Disegno Magazine is aimed at those who are hungry for updates on architecture, design and fashion. The three aspects of vanity are very neatly compiled into one very special magazine and it is the most sought out magazine as it graces the stands only twice in a year.
