Dear Design Friends, DDN has been struck by a R-evolution! Prepare yourselves for a completely new reading experience. We invite you to embark on a journey that not only broadens your understanding of the world of design and architecture but also encompasses related disciplines and perspectives that will help you connect with the emotions that the stories told can evoke. It is a path that stimulates the mind, enriches vision, and engages – why not? – the heart as well. Each page, where nothing is left to chance – from the title of an article to the graphic details of the English language – will offer continuous discovery. In this issue, we reflect on the theme of materials in the first section of mood&vibes: essential in every project, they intertwine aesthetic dimensions with functional ones, becoming a language capable of shaping and giving identity to the spaces and objects that surround us.
The journey continues through news, curiosities, as well as events and lifestyle in the new section, Design Dispatch, and will proceed to Space where we will present residential and contract interiors. The OFARCH section will unveil projects: in this issue, we have engaged with the Snøhetta studio, which shared its vision on the evolution of architecture. Following this, our new Album will showcase product innovations dedicated to dining rooms. Finally, our Blow Up section will lead you into reflections and narratives surrounding design and beyond. So, set forth with us on this new journey where, we are certain, you shall never find yourself bored.
