FEATURING REFLECTIONS ON THE CITY

What’s Inside: Residential Design & Lighting, Soft Seating, Reports from NeoCon and NYCxDesign


What makes a great city? A vibrant cultural scene, safe and inclusive public spaces, retail, recreation and hospitality experiences that reinvigorate both residents and visitors. In the Sept/Oct 2025 issue, we tour Printemps, a new and exciting department store in New York; and take deep dives into the state of museum architecture (starring V&A East Storehouse in London and Fenix Museum of Migration in Rotterdam) and Toronto’s outstanding Biidaasige Park, by Michael Van Valkenburgh Associates.

Also in this issue:

  • Residential Design Spotlight: Furniture and lighting selections, plus interiors that bring a spark to the home
  • Soft Seating: The most sink-into-me of sofas, lounges and upholstered chairs for workspaces and commercial projects
  • Reports from the Spring Shows: Our hot takes on Chicago’s NeoCon, New York Design Week and Copenhagen’s 3DaysofDesign
  • Interior and Architectural Textiles: The latest colourways, patterns and possibilities
  • Venice Biennal: An overview of the most important architecture exhibition in the world.
