ARTIST | WORK | LISSON by Irma Boom
It’s rare that an art book comes with a personal story. As we ease ourselves into this new strand of the Voices column and as we begin to get to know each other, let me share one with you. I first discovered ARTIST | WORK | LISSON on a shelf in the office at Whitechapel Gallery and thought it was...
San Francisco Symphony by Collins
Formed in 1911, while San Francisco was rapidly rebuilding after the devastating earthquake of 1906, the San Francisco Symphony (SFS) has been serving audiences in the Bay Area and beyond for 111 years. In 2018, Esa-Pekka Salonen – a Finnish conductor and composer – was announced as the incoming musical director, with his tenure to start during the fall season...
Girl Scouts of the USA by Collins
Not just a patch, but a full patchwork. Collins has injected ‘fashun darling’ into a club that has collected aesthetic cobwebs over the past few decades. The Girl Scouts of the USA has finally been ripped from old-world rigidity into a brand with whimsey. A reset for now, and a lifestyle brand for tomorrow. Scouts is the sort of extra-curricular...

Clutch Automotive by Parker Studio
From à la mode Lick paint to gramable Aokka coffee, everything comes in a tin these days.

Panettoni Pavolucci by Requena Office
Panettone has origins as far back as ancient Rome, but its connection to Christmas was first established in the eighteenth century. This sweet bread – originally from Milan – has earned its place across the globe as a staple of the festive season. However, earlier this summer, Barcelona-based twins Chiara and Francesca Pavolucci opened a bakery to bring panettone to...
Everybird by Marx Design
Few products have successfully integrated ethical, sustainable and environmental concerns with a product than coffee. It’s hard to imagine a time when the conditions of cultivation (both human and environmental) were not equal to flavour and – if we’re getting technical – whether the roast is blended or single origin. With its smaller volumes, the speciality coffee market has challenged...
Plenty by &Walsh
Agricultural practices are constantly changing to provide greater crop yields. In an effort to achieve this goal, modern farming has created a host of ecological side effects. Most notably, overconsumption of water and a reliance on chemical fertilisers, GMOs and pesticides. Plenty is an indoor vertical farm providing green produce to the masses through sustainable practices, using less space and...

Pursue Hard Seltzer by OlssønBarbieri
New products, new markets and new consumer groups generate new aesthetics – or, at least, you would hope so. Too often, style migrates from one category to another, or the identity of a sub-culture (visually speaking), is exploited in a commercial context. This is where ‘authenticity’ emerges, to support genuine origin credentials, or to mask the appropriation with narrative context....
