ABOUT MONOCLE
2007 as a monthly magazine briefing on
global affairs, business, culture, design, and

guides under its belt, a 24-hour radio station, a film-rich website, retail ventures
around the globe, and cafés in Tokyo and
London. Besides their London HQ they have
seven international bureaux in New York,
Toronto, Istanbul, Singapore, Tokyo, Zurich,
and Hong Kong. At their core is the simple

In this vibrant large-format manual, discover and explore good food
and its power to shape both people and places.
If Monocle were a restaurant it would be
where local produce is simply prepared,
wine is served without fuss, and all are
welcome. It would anchor the neighborhood, support young chefs, and none would
worry about Michelin stars.
This world of slow-ish food and pleasures informs the forthcoming guide to food
and drink. As with much of Monocle’s work,
it inspires those who would like to rescue
a forlorn vineyard or corner store while
revealing the best market in Helsinki or
café in Auckland. It speaks to a global generation who may hold an MBA but feel that
a decent burger chain is the way ahead.
From famed faces sharing tales over
supper to anecdotes from raconteurs and
a sprinkling of recipes, our editors have
prepared a truly nourishing experience.

Private paradises nestled in the backyards
of homes. Rooftops that act as community gardens. Edible patches of beauty hidden within city blocks. Evergreen shows the
green aesthetic statement that allows city
dwellers to bring nature back into the every
day and quenches urban gardening desires.
Living with plants is mutually beneficial. Beyond the exchange of carbon
dioxide and oxygen, leaves, flowers, and
stems bring a warm and individual charisma to any space. From interior decorations to citywide projects, Evergreen invites
both community and individual to nurture

ABOUT JIM KRANTZ
JIM KRANTZ has spent much of his career
photographing the American West. A student of Ansel Adams and represented by
the James Danziger Gallery, he has continued to create iconic photos that communicate the persona of the American cowboy
and the image of the Marlboro Man.
Release: October 2016

The beauty, myth, and reality of the American West captured in the emotive
and striking photographs of Jim Krantz. The Way of the West depicts the reality
behind a romanticized lifestyle of grit, gumption, and backbone, while
honoring the authenticity and mythology of the American West.
Feel the sun beating through a cotton shirt.
Smell the dust as the breeze drives across
the open plain. Taste the salt of the sweat
and hear the distant highway in its duet
with the hawks overhead. The Way of the
West rawly and artistically displays the
intimate relationship between nature’s
desert landscapes and the people who live
and work among the dust and the clouds.
An iconic folk hero, the cowboy is equal
parts human being and philosophical ideal,
and only one part of the Western frontier.
The photos of Jim Krantz collected in
The Way of the West tell the complete story;
they illustrate a state of mind driven by the
simplicity of life on the plains, the illusive
idea of true freedom, and personal portraits
of an exceptional circle of friends.

The woods are alive with possibilities: Retreat into nature, meet mushroom
pickers, collectors, and explorers. Build cabins and scenic trails, create crafts, or
start inspired projects. This is the way to the forest.
Step into the woods —refuge and escape
and home. Some go there to hike or fish.
The people and projects presented in
this book do so much more. Join them as
they gather honey from wild hives and
pick mushrooms from beneath secretive
oaks. Build a cabin of your own, or a lookout up there in the treetops. Bike trails,
walking paths, woodcrafts. Anything and
everything to experience the forest, both
architectural and intangible. With profiles
and essays that inspire us to step off the
beaten path and photographs that bring
the experience home, Wildside is the guide

The cutaway illustrations in this book allow our eyes to see what usually remains hidden. They open up houses, bodies, and objects, and explain them.
Looking at the outside of things such as
architecture, anatomy, or vehicles does not
usually reveal much about their internal
structures and functions. To learn more,
we need to see inside them. Look Inside
features infographics that cut up or take
apart their subjects and make them transparent. The resulting cross sections and
interior views present precise detail in
multiple layers.
Including work from both centuries past
and the cutting-edge present, Look Inside is
an unparalleled compendium of cutaway
techniques and their wide-ranging applications. Renowned information designer
Juan Velasco provides insight into their

The cabin has become our third place, our hideaway where we can recharge our spirits and reconnect with ourselves, away from the restraints of society and the stress
of the everyday. This book presents the best new cabin architecture and design.
We all need to be somewhere else, just for
a little while. The cabin is that somewhere
else. They allow us to get into a different
state of mind, one where we can just have
a good time. Four walls and a roof and a
weekend —these getaways free us from
the distracting and unessential, and put
us back in touch with nature and our own
inner peace. In cabins, we can savor solitude or share experiences with friends
among mountains, rivers, woods, and wildlife. The Hinterland explores architecture
and design approaches to creating the refuges that refresh and revitalize amidst the
beauty of nature.

ABOUT NATHANIEL ADAMS
ABOUT ROSE CALLAHAN
NATHANIEL „NATTY“ ADAMS has been
involved with the historical and contemporary Dandy phenomenon for many
years —it even informs his own wardrobe.
A research grant aided the studied journalist in traveling around the world and into
the eclectic homes of various Dandies.
New York is more than the current home
of filmmaker and photographer, ROSE
CALLAHAN; the city is also the site and
start of her involvement with the Dandy.
In 2008, she created the blog The Dandy
Portraits, where she documents the many
facets of the modern gentleman. Shortly
afterwards, she met Natty Adams and the
idea for I am Dandy was born.

Around the world, dandies embrace style while respecting their local cultural traditions. Dandyism transcends fashion —it is a committed way of life. An international survey of the global dandy community from the creators of I am Dandy.
From America to Africa to Asia, dandyism
is a way of life. It is fashion in the best sense,
self-esteem through style. And, in every
country, it takes a unique form as dandies draw on the local context and fashion
culture to shape their looks. We Are Dandy
throws open the doors of the wardrobe and
explores the dandy as a global phenomenon. With texts as witty as the subjects are
stylish, the book pokes between the folds to
let us know these exceptional individuals.
For them, their dandy fashion is more than
a trend or a phase, it is who they are, the
outer expression of their inner selves. Photographs and profiles paired with clever
histories reveal what it takes to look your
best around the world.

From dog sledding to ice fishing to waterfall climbing to bandy, countless
possibilities await beyond the crowded ski slope and traditional winter activities.
Create the winter wonderland that you desire and crave.
Colder temperatures invite a variety of
unique ways to interact with nature. Dog
sleighs and snowshoes facilitate movement across snowy plains for everyday icy
life whilst ice motocross and figure skating
provide a burst of adrenaline. Whether you
are looking for a vacation spot where the
sun shimmers off of a glittering frozen cliff
or for an athletic alternative to the conventional ski slopes, Below Zero celebrates the
search for cabins instead of offices and parkas instead of suit jackets.
Through images of landscapes dusted
in a powdery palette and depictions of cold
weather athletics, any questions of what to
do with a snow day are answered in Below

of nature’s beauty and the adventures that
await when the mercury drops.

Creative outsiders and first-time founders are redefining what used to be called
corporate design in a more holistic and playful way. A breath of fresh air from a
new breed.
Striking corporate design is a must-have
for any new business. For the outsiders and
first-timers entering the market, corporate
design is not an add-on, it is part of the soul
of the business itself. And it demands fresh
ideas unfettered by standard approaches.
This book presents real examples from
shop owners and mechanics, dentists and
organic farmers —businesses discovering
corporate design for the first time —as well
as from traditionally creative companies
like marketing agencies or restaurants, and
hotels. With profiles and photographs it
explores their novel approaches to corporate design.

Taking a second look at advertising campaigns: revealing reproductions,
trumpeting creativity, and inspiring all to look just a little closer.
A reinvigoration of an architectural classic. Added projects provide insight into
the ever-developing world of container architecture.
Books about advertising are supposed to
be a source of inspiration, yet here is one
that takes the opposite tack. Not that the
dozens of adverts compiled here are bad —
au contraire. They have been presented at
major industry conferences and some have
even won awards —but because many of
them are, knowingly or not, reproductions.
Whether that is the result of deliberate plagiarism or unlucky coincidence remains
an open question. You are free to judge for
yourself.
An expanded reprint of a beloved tome, this
book presents a wide range of projects in
container architecture —a contemporary
architectural phenomenon. In addition
to previously released projects, nearly
twenty new examples await to inspire and
to engage. Container Atlas features container structures used as pop-up stores and
temporary exhibits as well as sophisticated housing and office spaces that provoke
and inspire while setting new standards in
functionality and aesthetics. But the book
is not only visually inspiring. Because it
documents plans, describes associated
costs, and suggests concrete solutions for
common problems, it is a practical reference for architects, planners, and cultural
activists as well as event and marketing
managers, to guide them in deciding what
types of containers are best suited to their
upcoming projects.
For nearly 20 years, JOE LA POMPE has
pursued a passion for uncovering identical adverts. Working undercover, today
he is the world’s best known “copycat
hunter”. The French blogger is followed
by advertisers from around the world,
who love his revelations. Until he catches them, that is. Copy Paste, his third
book, campaigns for more creativity. You
will have to read it at least twice.

continent’s vibrant metropolises.
Africa’s young, self-confident creative

as well as the products of its other creative
industries, constantly surprise with their
unique combination of innovation and tradition. African design, like that of other

for social and economic developments.
Interdisciplinary artists such as Die

names for themselves well beyond Africa’s
borders. Their work and that of their contemporaries redefines African creativity
and calls stereotypes and clichés into question. That spirit extends to the vibrant restaurant scene, with fresh approaches to
regional foods and beverages, and to the
hotels and even safari lodges that exemplify the very special African approach to
enjoying life. Africa Rising is a compelling

Fly fishing is an inimitable form of escapism for outdoor enthusiasts. Much
more than a sport, fly fishing invites connecting with nature and the defining of
a personal aesthetic.
Equal parts outdoor meditation and escapism, fly fishing appeals to a diverse
audience. The dedicated focus on the task
at hand makes daily life fade away and
the fly-fisher is free to connect with the
soothing sounds of the water while awaiting a catch.
From rod to reel to weighted line, the art
of fly fishing is rife in details. Filled with
photos of anglers and their habitats, the
craftsmanship of tying flies, and expert
discussions on the right gear to wear to
wade into a favorite river, The Flyfisher is
the first comprehensive discussion of this
multifaceted sport. It is as much about the
triumphant catch as the craft of building
bait paired with the art of appreciating the
overall experience as well as the method.

Better than the original and a long way from factories and assembly lines.
Handcrafted, radical, and subversive, these custom cars are designed and made
by a small number of specialists around the globe.
De Tomaso Pantera “ADRLN”
by Ringbrothers:
Making
Your
ADRNLN
Run Yellow
From early hot rods and lowriders to modern tuning: this book presents a huge variety of unique cars from around the world.
Automobiles have been tuned, restored,
and rebuilt for years, but —whether made
for leisurely cruising or peak performance —today’s custom machines are more
interesting than ever before. After exploring custom motorcycles in The Ride and
The Ride 2nd Gear, it’s high time to focus on
the four-wheeled scene.
The Drive showcases the diversity and
reach of this custom movement. Each car is
utterly unique; each builder a true personality. Passion and craft meet in their workshops in North America, Europe, and Asia.
The resulting vehicles —and this book —
are for anyone for whom a car is so much
more than just a way to get around.
The 1971 DeTomaso Pantera is a gorgeous car, but the Ringbrothers take
on this 1971 Pantera is nothing other
than breathtakingly captivating.
I
n 1969 an up-and-coming car company, DeTomaso, ushered in
a deal with Ford to supply them with some American V8 power
inside their new sports car and the Pantera was born. During the
course of production, from 1971 to 1992, there would be over 7,000
Pantera seen prowling off the finish line in Modena, Italy. Originally
penned by Italian design company Ghia the very first car that would be
shown to the public wore yellow paint, which would become one of the
most popular colors for the car.
The Ringbrothers, Jim and Mike, are both car aficionados by birth
and they began innovating and working on cars at the age of 10 and
11 years old. Their studio and shops can be found in Spring Green,
Wisconsin and is not only home to their custom car works but is
primarily a collision and repair shop for the small city. Performing one
to two custom restorations a year they also sell hand-made carbon
fiber, billet metal accessories, and custom fiberglass pieces - the shop
is a jack and master of all trades. Their craftsmanship has recently
come into stardom though as they have won multiple accolades at
the SEMA custom car show in the past few years. This is also where,
in 2013, their work with a 1971 DeTomaso Pantera named ADRNLN
mesmerized audiences and workshops alike.

was positive. So over a Christmas break he went to work making a
mock-up by cutting up the shell of a roadster with an angle grinder,
rebuilding the body with re-defined panels and shape. The car that
emerged was indeed something special. So was born the Eagle E-Type.
Since the early 1990s, a host of upgrades and innovations have
been developed in house for owners to choose from when they
commission an Eagle. Engine work can be geared for touring or highspeed use, and can include a custom made billet crankshaft, even an
ally cylinder block for further weight reduction. Cooling and braking
systems are upgraded; interiors come in a choice of spec and materials; and ECU managed power steering lightens things up, should the
buyer wish it, yet retains that all-important driver feedback. Engines
can be worked up a full 4.7 litre capacity—an increase of power by
50 % over a period car.
All through the aim has been to “only make modifications that enhance and never dilute the unique spirit of the original.” Such ambition
does not come cheap of course. But when you consider prices of over
£ 200,000 for a top-condition original E-Type, investing in an Eagle
at around twice that amount—a car with all the style of the original but
the performance of a modern supercar—one can understand why it is
an idea more and more wealthy clients are going with. Henry makes
the point that a large part of the process for customers is seeing their
own input come to life, builder and buyer going through “an in-depth
conversation… so that we can fully understand the personal wishes,
expectations, and intended usage of the car.”
In many ways, then, it’s impossible to improve on perfection, which
is why Eagle have not sought to do so. They have, rather, started from

It has it all: great history, a great name, an unmistakable shape.
Dial in cool drivers—especially Steve McQueen in Bullet—and
it adds up to a legacy few cars can come near to, let alone match.
And auto designers have not been slow in borrowing from the classic
profile—but why not? Everything from the Ford Capri to Toyota’s Celica
offer up traces of the Mustang, not to mention its catch-up contempories such as the Camaro and the Barracuda.
But then the Mustang heralded a new and exciting era for American
automotive production, virtually singled headedly. With its launch,
the so-called “Pony car” was born—open top and two-door rides,
which majored on engine performance and slick styling, priced for the
masses. So when ace stunt and rally driver Ken Block wanted to move
his Gymkhana series of specials and videos away from breathing fire on
more modern motors, the Mustang was a natural base to start from. But
this Mustang has a come a long way.

The retro-futuristic epoch is one of the most visually spectacular in
architecture’s history. The utopian buildings of the 1950s and 1970s never go out
of style. This book compiles radical ideas and visionary structures.
The Tale of Tomorrow documents the utopian
architecture of the 1960s and 1970s —a
time when anything felt possible as architects began to think further and further
outside the box. The book focuses exclusively on built manifestations of utopian
ideas. Rather than mixing together abstract
theorists with practitioners, it focuses
on the tangible embodiments of such
forward thinking.
Highlighting well-known projects as
well as the more obscure and offbeat, the
collection of utopian approaches compiled here maintain their visual power and
infectious optimism nearly half a century
later. Whether an organically shaped residence or a towering sculptural complex,
the projects in this book stand as poignant
suggestions of what might have been and,
perhaps, what could still be.

Israel and Palestine share an outstanding and dynamic cuisine. Divine Food is
a visually striking collection of recipes from local markets, Arab traditions, the
nomadic tribes of the desert, and the hip restaurants of Tel Aviv.
What characteristics and values define a country? Which countries are particularly successful in terms of education, economics, or culture? In this book, Monocle provides a global perspective on the distinct qualities of nations.
Divine Food takes readers on a culinary journey through Israeli and Palestinian cuisine
and its local varieties —from the ArabJewish kitchen of the north to nomadic
specialties of the Negev Desert, from the
contemporary food scene of Tel Aviv to the
fish dishes of the coast.
The book presents a wide range of delicious recipes. Because the food of the
region is characterized by authenticity and
tradition, it also provides insight into the
origins of iconic dishes. Both a stunning
regional portrait and a go-to cookbook,
Divine Food is a must-have for any foodie.
Monocle’s books with Gestalten have shown
you how to build a better life, business, and
home. But now Monocle raises the bar: how
do you run a great country? They are not
talking about might, muscle, or nationalism —although you need a bit of a swagger
every now and then. They are talking about
a country that feels like a cohesive community, knows what to value, and goes out
into the world to gently get its way with soft
power, fine ambassadors, and compelling
cultural offerings. At home, this country
celebrates good education, well-made institutions, and its own people and their skills.
How to Make a Nation: A Monocle Guide is
a thought-provoking primer that informs
and inspires. The best ideas don’t need to be
invented —they need to be found and copied. Let Monocle be your guide.
The author of several cookbooks, art
director, and publicist DAVID HALIVA
has teamed up with a handpicked group
of chefs, restaurateurs, and photographers
to produce Divine Food. With fifteen years
of experience shaping corporate identities
for Israeli companies and organizations,
he is also the founder of the magazine
42 Degrees, which has made a lasting
impact on Tel Aviv’s creative scene.

MONOCLE was launched by Tyler Brûlé in
2007 as a monthly magazine briefing on
global affairs, business, culture, design,
and much more. Today, MONOCLE is a
complete media brand with a suite of
travel guides under its belt, a 24-hour
radio station, a film-rich website, retail
ventures around the globe, and cafés in
Tokyo and London. Besides their London HQ they have seven international
bureaux in New York, Toronto, Istanbul, Singapore, Tokyo, Zurich, and Hong
Kong. At their core is the simple belief
that there will always be a place for a
print brand that is committed to telling
fresh stories and sending photographers
on assignments.

A tweed suit, pipe, umbrella, and hat; a large dose of British humor and no
sports —well, except for cricket. The Chap is the modern English gentleman, and
he’s out to conquer the world.
Jeans are equal parts subculture and establishment. Worn as both work clothes
and luxury fashion, they are practically universal. This book contains everything
you need —and want —to know about jeans.
How to be Chap explores the roots of the
English gentleman and follows them to
the present day. Today’s chaps live according to their own rules —with hats, pipes,
and, of course, British humor. Inspired
by men such as Beau Brummell and Lord
Byron, they maintain proper English ideals
and virtues. By stepping back to tradition,
they’re advancing a lifestyle revolution.
In this book, chap expert Gustav Temple
explains how a chap dresses, where he goes
on vacation, which sports he plays (cricket)
and which ones he doesn’t (everything else).
From the historical foundations of British
gentlemen’s culture to today’s dos and
don’ts, How to be Chap provides thorough
answers to chap-related questions and
plenty of cultivated laughs.
No other garment has the iconic status of
jeans. Almost everyone has at least one pair
in their closet, and many can even remember the first ones they wore. Jeans are never
out of fashion, and they will continue to
outlive other sartorial trends for the foreseeable future.
A contemporary overview of our favorite
article of clothing, Blue Blooded introduces
traditional brands as well as designers who
are stirring up the industry. It explores styles
and cuts, and provides answers to questions
including where jeans originated, what a
selvage is, and how raw denim should be
washed. The book covers the topic of jeans
in its entirety —from their rivets to their
various washes and from their cultural history to a recommended selection of stores
where they can be bought.
Style authority GUSTAV TEMPLE cofounded the British magazine The Chap
in 1999. This publication is dedicated to
rescuing the English gentleman from
extinction and consequently saving our
world from moral and sartorial collapse.
Chapter
4
Revolution
Begins in
the Dressing
Room
Before a Chap sets foot into the outside world,
ready to wreak havoc on its bland conformity, he needs to be dressed
in such a manner as both to be taken seriously by the public,
but also to cause a sartorial sensation wherever he may roam.
If cars are not screeching to a halt beside you,
then you are not dressed correctly for an anarcho-dandyist.
THOMAS STEGE BOJER is the force behind
the online magazine Denimhunters. There,
jeans lovers can find product recommendations, care tips, industry news, a wellinformed glossary, and much more. He
previously worked for a variety of fashion brands as a shop manager and branding specialist.
The British journalist JOSH SIMS writes
about fashion and lifestyle for publications including the Financial Times, the
Independent, Wallpaper*, and Esquire. He
is also the author of several books and
style guides.

Cold-water surfing, the most remote surf spots, spectacular photography, illustrations, and custom boards: Surf Odyssey documents the modern cult of surfing as
its own subculture and way of life.
Fashion from another planet. Unwearable, subversive, radically post-human,
alien. Otherworldly presents avant-garde garments, styling, fashion photography,
and young designers who are a whole galaxy away from the mainstream.
Beyond mainstream surfing lies an uncharted sea of creativity, community, and independence that celebrates the true nature of
surfing. Surf Odyssey depicts this contemporary surf culture: the adrenaline-rush
of cold-water surfing, the daunting treks
through the terrain of Africa balanced by
the welcoming Temple of Enthusiasm in
Bali, the quest to find nature in its purest
form, and the reward of finding oneself.
Images from pioneering outdoor photographers and poignant portraits of movers
and shakers in the scene narrate a tale of
modern wave-riding.
Surf Odyssey underlines the natural
connections between environmental responsibility and the thrill of embracing an
unbroken wall of water whilst showcasing
the products and places that comprise this
unique community.
Other rules apply to the fashion of the
future. New technologies and materials
make things possible today that could not
have even been imagined in the past. Hightech fabrics and melting forms are no longer science fiction but reality. Fashion is
constantly reinventing itself, but many
designers and stylists are now taking it
to extremes. Inspired by the odd, mutant,
and deformed, they are redefining clothing to expand the body —from wearables
to the utter transfiguration of the human
silhouette.
Otherworldly showcases a fashion avantgarde between futurism and fetish. Featuring
work by designers such as Lucy McRae, Peter
Popps, Marina Hoermanseder, and Viktor &
Rolf, it not only explores this groundbreaking development but also its fruitful interplay with photography.
Born 1985 in Limassol, Cyprus, THEOMASS LEXILEICTOUS can be described
as fashion director, creative director, set
designer, researcher, art director, and editor. In addition to this myriad of titles,
Lexileictous works as a visual and performance artist. His ventures include
features in Dazed and Confused, ARTE TV,
and FLAUNT, iconic collaborations with
pop-stars and high-fashion brands, and
ongoing work for a solo show to be presented early 2017.
Multitalented graphic artist ANDREW
GROVES is also a passionate surfer and
deeply involved in the surfing scene. The
designer has a special focus on surfing
and outdoor lifestyles; his illustrations
have graced the pages of publications
like the New York Times, Huck Magazine,
the New Yorker, GQ, Wired, and the Guardian. In 2011, he founded Miscellaneous Adventures, a project for which he
hand-carves practical objects from wood.

Bicycles are the new cars. Whether custom-made, sleek, playful, or electric, they
are not only a means of transportation but also have cultural value. Velo 3rd Gear
introduces the world’s best bikes along with their makers and related products.
Collage is as topical as ever. The Age of Collage Vol. 2 is a striking collection of
work that ranges from subversive to museum-worthy. While some examples
make explicit statements, others are gloriously Dada.
As more and more people see bicycles
as the best way to get around, bikes have
evolved. Today, e-bikes power past urban
traffic. All-wood bikes bomb slopes. Cargo
bikes haul gear and goods. Handlebars
sync with phones and GPS buzzes through
grips, enabling no-look navigation. These
bikes, their makers, and their riders are
defining the pedal-fueled future.
Velo 3rd Gear is a showcase of today’s
most covetable bicycles, the latest designs
and technologies, and truly stylish bikerelated clothing. It shares compelling perspectives, stories, and experiences from the
growing community of cyclists worldwide
and introduces a wide range of products
and accessories to satisfy its diverse needs
and discerning aesthetics.
Bringing disparate images and items
together, collage transcends the boundaries
between artistic disciplines. The traditionally analog technique has its roots in surrealism and Dada. Having effortlessly evolved
to embrace digital tools and the combinatory freedom that they offer, collage is now
making a promising comeback.
The Age of Collage Vol.2 presents the
work of more than 80 collage artists —
from established names including John
Baldessari and Richard Prince to up-andcoming talents such as Lola Dupré. A follow-up to The Age of Collage, the book is a
comprehensive showcase of the surprising
diversity of this genre today.
DENNIS BUSCH is an artist, musician, and
author. Known for his own radical collages, his insider knowledge of the contemporary scene also helped shape our
previous release, The Age of Collage.

Magazine
Cover and Cover Story
The first IL covers were designed
according to a standard layout
consisting of a full-page photograph
(or, more rarely, an illustration), a title
with a three-line summary, and three
“screamers” beneath the name of the
magazine. The latter was inserted in a
colored rectangle that either blended
or contrasted with the colors of the
cover photo, and the individual letters
of the logo were spaced to reveal
the image beneath. The barcode was
positioned on a pink background — the
same pink that identifies Il Sole 24
ORE, the daily that publishes IL as
a supplement. When the magazine
graphics were rethought, it was
decided to create a more flexible
cover, similar in style to that of a news
magazine. So from no. 34 onward, the
typography gallery was more varied,
and photographic, illustrated, and
typographic covers were alternated.
The placement of the titles, summaries,
1
127
58
subheads — if used — and even the logo,
changed with each issue. Likewise,
different fonts were adopted (though
these always belonged to the families
previously selected for the project)
and lettering was sometimes used.
The only “rule” was that the graphic
style of the cover had to match that
of the cover story in the magazine.
This story was sometimes told in a
single text, but more often in various
articles, some of which had a broader
reach and addressed the same subject
directly or obliquely. The theme was
chosen for its newsworthiness (e.g.
euroskepticism on the cover of no. 50)
or for its relevance to IL’s identity
(e.g. 30- and 40-year-olds contending
with power on the cover of no. 69).
The cover stories were enhanced by
photographs, illustrations, explanatory
boxes, and infographics where
necessary, according to a flexible
scheme.
Cover: IL 01, September 2008. New
Seducers. The first cover of IL was
dedicated to Barack Obama who was
then the Democratic candidate in the
U.S. presidential election.

The tropics are not only an address, but also a way of life. Living
Under the Sun is a stunning showcase of modern tropical interiors
and architecture that meld local design tradition and bold innovation in compelling ways. More than anywhere else on earth, the
tropics demand an architecture that can bridge the gap between
what is outside —sea, sand, sky, and sun —and what lies within.
The villas, family homes, artists’ ateliers, and beach shacks featured in the book embrace their outdoor surroundings to offer
fresh, often surprising indoor possibilities that are ideally suited
to their climates. The elegantly easy-going work exemplifies
how to create tranquil settings to soothe our hectic lives, regardless of our geographical location.
Once in a Lifetime Vol. 2 presents a diverse range of destinations
for those longing for incredible travel experiences, whether they
are seeking an adventure or a retreat. Some will be attracted to
cities —the urban flair of Vienna, the bustle of Tokyo, the rich
history of Marrakech —and their sumptuous hotels. Others will
want to be pampered at a wellness resort; find peace and quiet in
an isolated mountain hut; fulfill a childhood dream of going on a
safari; or see, hear, and smell a tropical rain forest. Wherever the
journey leads, the architecture, interiors, and creative details of
the featured locations contribute to each destination’s charm, and
highly individualized service guarantees an unforgettable stay.

Men who are style-savvy exude a sense of relaxed confidence —
from the hats on their heads to the soles of their shoes. To achieve
this flair, they need a dependable set of sartorial tools that will
see them through any occasion in any season, and bring out their
individual personality. From Tip to Toe features a carefully curated
collection of brands and makers who all embody this spirit, as
well as a selection of recommended shops from around the world.
Some have long and storied histories while others bring new
thinking to the table, but what they all share is a sense of quality,
honesty, and élan that won’t let the stylish man down.

In contrast with the immobility of the objects it depicts, still life
has been speedily making a comeback onto contemporary platforms —from glossy magazines to Instagram feeds. This book
showcases new directions in product portraiture by some of the
most imaginative photographers, designers, and stylists of our
time. Still life staples such as dead game and fruit bowls can
still be seen in today’s of-the-moment arrangements, but they
are now presented alongside the latest fashion accessories or
luxury gadgets. The elaborate tabletops, collages, installations,
and photographic illustrations featured in The Still Life bridge
past and present, and skillfully meld elements of scenography
and sculpture with the art of selling.

As the demand for work in illustration continues to grow, this
medium is becoming a key component in the fields of advertising, communication, and reporting. Illusive, the definitive reference of contemporary illustration, showcases the work of both
established names and new talents from around the world. The
book demonstrates the dynamism of this creative technique, documents global trends, and features an impressive variety of illustration styles and design approaches spanning from luscious fashion
sketches to unapologetic protest images. Its scope makes Illusive a
rich source of ideas for illustrators, painters, and all visual artists,
as well as for graphic and editorial designers.
Today, food and beverages are a vital part of creative culture. The
Delicious presents pioneers, traditionalists, and entrepreneurs
who are breaking new ground and enriching the culinary world
with their innovative concepts. The book also presents eatery
owners who are creating unusual spaces for the enjoyment of
food, moving away from the classic restaurant setting. Eating is
more than a pastime, it’s a party; food is more than nourishment,
it’s a social experience. This book helps you stay up-to-date with
the world’s cooking and dining trends. In The Delicious, everything
is possible, everything is delectable, and everything promises
full enjoyment.
Now available again, this is the definitive reference book on the
work of Dieter Rams. In his more than 40 years at Braun, Rams
established himself as one of the most influential designers of the
twentieth century. True to the principle of “less, but better,” his
elegantly clear visual language not only defined product design
for generations, but also our fundamental understanding of what
design is and what it can and should do. Less and More offers
boundless inspiration for anyone interested in the aesthetic and
functional aspects of applied design. The book features images
of hundreds of Rams’s products as well as his sketches and
models. It also contains texts by international design experts
that explain how the work was created and put it into a contemporary context.

Retail is in upheaval, yet small shops are
experiencing a rebirth. Driven by the
personalities behind them and featuring select
products, atmospheric interiors, and impeccable
service, these spaces offer promising
alternatives to webshops and chains.
A Poor Collector’s Guide to Buying Great Art offers sound advice to
those who want to buy art but don’t know how or where to do
it. They might have preferences in terms of styles, but they’re
not familiar with how the buying process works. Perhaps they
already have specific pieces in mind but don’t yet trust the rules
of the art market —if such rules actually exist. What does someone actually need to know to prevent their personal tastes from
leading them to make the wrong investment decisions? On his
way to becoming a passionate art collector himself, Norwegian
adventurer Erling Kagge had to learn these ropes and answer
this exact question. In this practical yet entertaining book, he
illuminates all aspects of becoming an expert at buying art that
one will enjoy for many years.
Maps are a fascinating expression of contemporary visual culture. Their styles may range from simple to intricate and from
restrained to vivid, but all maps unlock the world and make it more
accessible. In our age of omnipresent satellite navigation systems,
personal interpretations of our surroundings are gaining in importance. Today, the craftsmanship of cartographers and the distinct
visuals of map illustrators are increasingly valued by both professional designers and a growing community of those passionate
about maps. Mind the Map provides new perspectives on the world
in map form. It offers surprising and inspiring bird’s eye views of
places that we thought we knew and unexpected access to unfamiliar terrain.
Distilling spirits is an age-old craft that is currently experiencing
a renaissance. Today’s young distillers are striking the right balance between tradition and innovation. They are using premium
ingredients to create a wide array of artisanal spirits that offer
exceptional taste experiences. Out of the Jar presents a meticulously curated selection of the best and most unusual spirits
from small manufacturers around the world. It introduces personalities who are cultivating rare varieties of fruit, reviving
high-proof family recipes, or labeling each of their bottles by
hand. A compelling overview of today’s crafted spirits and those
who make them, Out of the Jar is a guidebook for professionals,
gourmets, and all enthusiasts looking to enjoy a distinctive drink.

The Great Wide Open is a compilation of photographs that capture
and celebrate the new desire for outdoor adventure. From Iceland
to Mongolia, this book takes you on a visual journey to some of
the Earth’s most breathtaking places. Lose yourself amidst endless horizons, within the depths of a forest, or on a mountain
peak. An inspiring exploration of natural wonders, the book also
includes a few stories from the people behind the lens —ordinary
people who set out to do extraordinary things. The Great Wide Open
is an ode to the outdoors, bound to awaken a thirst for adventure
and prompt you to act on it.
Train travel is one of the best ways to decelerate from our fast-paced
daily lives. The Journey presents a varied selection of remarkable
travel opportunities by train from around the world including the
Venice Simplon Orient Express, the Glacier Express, the TransSiberian Railway, and the El Transcantabrico. Featuring historic
luxury wagons, spectacular panoramic railways, and timeless
itineraries, it takes the reader for a ride through breathtaking
canyons and romantic scenery. Striking images, informative geographical material, and personal experiences bring these train
adventures, which range from the quick three-hour trip to the
transcontinental journey lasting several days, to life.
More and more of us are turning to the great outdoors when seeking peace, balance, and a touch of adventure to offset our daily
grind. The Outsiders showcases the outlook and passions of the
new creative scene that has emerged and draws inspiration from
this development along with its original products, brands, and
ideas. The book captures the refreshing and evolving ethos of
today’s smartly successful outdoor entrepreneurs and features
interviews with key players from across the sector. Catering
to modern globetrotters, these innovators are rethinking the
ways in which the challenges posed by the wilderness meet the
aesthetic needs of design-literate adventurers. The results are
often radical, but always likeable with the occasional romantic
or ironic wink.

Art is freedom. Everything is possible. Carsten Nicolai creates according to a strict application of his own rules—and has
established an impressively clear artistic perspective. Parallel
Lines Cross at Infinity showcases Nicolai’s fascinating work, which
explores the boundaries and intersections of art, nature, and
science. Carsten Nicolai uses patterns, codes, equations, televisions, computers, neon tubes, and other devices. The world is
his laboratory and art his experiments. He analyzes, fragments,
and condenses data to give his audience direct access to complex
processes of time, space, and sound. Parallel Lines Cross at Infinity
offers a wealth of inspiration for those interested in avant-garde
art, mathematics, science, experimental music, as well as conceptual thinking and design.

Mobility is the ultimate new form of freedom. Today’s creatives
thrive on a lifestyle that enables them to work six months in a
shared office in Berlin, spend the summer in a caravan in Chile, and
show up in time for their next project at a temporary desk in New
York. This growing trend has generated visionary ways of designing products and spaces that facilitate a nomadic yet high-tech
life. From a modular dwelling system on wheels to an inflatable
classroom in a repurposed dumpster, this book compiles a wide
range of flexible spaces and innovative products that define
today’s nomads. Through innovative technology and by thinking
outside the box, the designers behind these concepts give people
the freedom to call the entire world their home.
Maps help us understand and navigate the world. For centuries, maps have become better, more refined, and more precise —
there are no blind spots anymore. While Google Maps and GPS
systems have become our tools of choice for navigation, contemporary maps have evolved into platforms for cutting-edge
illustration, experimental data visualization, and personal visual
storytelling. A Map of the World is a compelling collection of work
by a new generation of mapmakers. From accurate and surprisingly detailed representations to personal, naïve, and modernistic interpretations, the featured projects range from maps and
atlases inspired by classic forms to cartographic experiments
and editorial illustrations.
The Age of Collage is a striking documentation of today’s continued appetite for destructive construction. Showcasing outstanding current artwork and artists, the book also takes an insightful
behind-the-scenes look at those working with this interdisciplinary and cross-media approach. The featured collages are influenced by illustration, painting, and photography and play
with elements of abstraction, constructivism, surrealism, and
dada. Referencing scientific images, pop culture, and erotica,
they reflect humanity’s collective visual memory and context.
Through confident cuts, brushstrokes, mouse clicks, or pasting,
the work expands the possibilities of the genre while turning our
worldview on its head along the way.
Looking through an atlas has always been a fascinating way to
explore the world. Around the World is a contemporary evolution
of an atlas tailored to our information age. With eye-catching

Gentlemen, Start Your Engines! reveals the undeniable icons of the
classic car scene. As lovers of exclusive limited series, recordmaking vehicles, and legendary races themselves, Jared Zaugg
and the team at Bonhams went all out in their efforts to collect
the best of the best in this publication —and it shows. Every page
gives the reader a sense of the intensity of true automobile culture. Large-format images showcase sleek shapes and tactile vintage interiors in loving detail. The book features a selection of
models that go far beyond mere technical stats and gleaming
chrome. Rather, they all offer something far more valuable: compelling stories. All the big names are included, but the focus is
on what can be found behind the logos and the polished surfaces.
Similar to the fresh contemporary scene that has established
itself around bicycles in the last few years, the motorcycle is
currently undergoing an aesthetic rebirth. A young subculture
worldwide is discovering the motorcycle as an expression of its
personality and creativity. The Ride explores motorcycle riding
as it is meant to be: as a means of getting around with attitude,
as an extension of one’s own body, as an expression of personal
freedom, but also as a significant challenge to technical expertise, craftsmanship, physics, discipline, and driving skill.
Los Logos 7 is an authoritative reference on contemporary logo
design worldwide. Like the previous editions of the Los Logos
series, the book is both a guide to the latest innovations as well
as a harbinger of coming trends. The 400-page, fully indexed
compendium presents an unparalleled selection of cutting-edge
examples from around the globe intuitively arranged according
to style or motif. Six interviews with leading designers in corporate, logo, and label design punctuate the publication and offer a
look behind the scenes at younger as well as established agencies.
The practical handbook is a must-have for any designer, brand
manager, trend scout, or marketing strategist.
In Traditional Couture, German photographer Gregor Hohenberg
portrays the individuals, young and old alike, who currently wear
authentic, traditional attire throughout his homeland. With
an eye and sensibility with which he usually works with international fashion magazines, Hohenberg captures the glorious
details of this distinctive clothing, its intricate tailoring, the dignity of those who wear it, and the beauty of their surroundings.
Together, the dazzling photographs and insightful texts in
Traditional Couture succeed in giving heritage fashions a contemporary context that fits perfectly with today’s passion for handcraft and paves the way for future styles.

Rock the Shack takes us to the places we long for. For the first time
in the history of humankind, more people live in cities than in
the country. Yet, at the same time, more and more city dwellers
are yearning for rural farms, mountain cabins, or seaside homes.
These kinds of refuges offer the promise of what urban centers
usually cannot provide: relaxation, being out of reach, getting
back to basics, and feeling human again. The book is a survey of
such contemporary refuges from around the world —from basic
to luxury. The look of the structures from the outside is just as
important as the view from inside. What these diverse projects
have in common is an exceptional spirit that melds the uniqueness of a geographic location with the individual character of the
building’s owner and architect.
The cabins and hideaways featured in Hide and Seek offer exceptional yet convenient ways to escape urban routines. The compelling dwellings meld traditional architecture with modern living
in fascinating and surprising ways. Whether located in the forest
or in the mountains, whether minimalistic or cozy, they exemplify how to create remote shelters that bring calm and balance
to our hectic lives. With the right concept, furniture, décor, and
atmosphere, even small or basic designs become stunning sanctuaries. Hide and Seek is a contemporary survey of contextual
architecture and interior design that channels our shared desire
for peace and quiet. These projects have the power to get people in
touch not only with their surroundings, but also with themselves.
Start Me Up! is a compendium of innovative corporate design for a
new generation. Brimming with imaginative business ideas from
a turban tailoring house to an artistically ambitious mattress
manufactory, this book presents brands that break away from stereotypes through their visual identities. Brands are people and
people are brands: the featured examples show that entrepreneurship today is more personal than ever before and that businesses can be seen as extensions of the passionate professionals
who founded them. A showcase of the best in innovative branding from around the world, Start Me Up! collects work by creative
agencies who are transforming business ideas into personalized
narratives through striking visual storytelling strategies.
The most fascinating apartments are always those that reflect the
essence of their occupants. The Chamber of Curiosity is a captivating
selection of interiors that tell compelling stories of their owner’s
unconventional personalities and life paths. Each page transports
the reader into their eccentric, deeply personal, and consistently
fascinating spaces. We are welcomed into the private worlds of
exotics, dandies, and hedonists featuring stunning work by architects and designers as well as objects collected by savvy hunters
and gatherers. In the collage-like rooms showcased in this book,
anything goes except uniformity. Its rich images are complemented by portraits of trailblazing interior designers and texts

Barley & Hops gives beer connoisseurs a behind-the-kettles look at
their favorite beverage —from its historical origins and regional
distinctions to current developments. Compiled by renowned
beer sommelier Sylvia Kopp, the book includes portraits of those
who are united in their passion for craft beer, the brewing process,
and creating something unique. Here, they share their personal
stories of how they came to brew beer and, in the process, give
insight into how beer is advancing our drinking culture today.
Barley & Hops introduces a range of brews with individual facets
that lend themselves to different tastes, occasions, and foods. It
also includes a glossary with key beer-related terminology and
recipes. Cheers!
Beer had long been grossly underestimated as an accompaniment
to sophisticated cuisine, but the booming craft beer movement is
now sparking a fundamental shift. When a strong companion for
a meal is needed, a beer’s spices and hoppy character make it an
excellent choice. This book gives you the fundamentals to explore
the pleasurable pairing of food and beer, along with varied recipes and useful tips. But beer is not only for drinking. Used as an
ingredient, it can provide dishes with the perfect seasoning. It can
work as a harmonious complement to a dish or provide it with a
surprising contrast, remaining distinct while not overshadowing
any flavors. On Beer and Food opens a world of taste possibilities.
In this unique publication, Marilyn and John Neuhart tell the story,
to paraphrase Charles Eames himself, of how Eames furniture got

not of an individual person, but of arguably the most influential
and important furniture brand of our time. Brimming with more
than 2,500 images and insider information, this two-volume book
in a slipcase sheds new light on the context in which the furniture
of Charles and Ray Eames was created. It documents in unparalleled detail how the design process in the Eames Office developed
as well as the significant roles played by specific designers and
manufacturers.

GRÜNDUNG ! 2006
Bourbon, Brandy, Sherry, Wein – mehr als tausend Eichenfässer stehen im Keller von Port Brewing in Kalifornien. Darin
reifen Biere, die es so in den Vereinigten Staaten selten gibt:
inspiriert von der belgischen Biertradition, gebraut im Geiste
der großen Trappistenbiere. Vince Marsaglia, einer der Gründer von Port Brewing, ist weder Mönch, noch hat er Verbindungen zu einem Kloster, aber den Traum einer Klosterbräu
hegte er lange. Und wenn sich eine Gelegenheit bietet, weiß
er sie zu ergreifen.
Die erste Gelegenheit bot sich, als er Tomme Arthur für „Pizza
Port“, sein damaliges Brewpub, engagierte. Der Brauer teilte
Marsaglias Liebe für belgische Biere. Er braute die bewährten Westküsten-Ales und experimentierte nebenbei mit wilden Hefen – mit Brettanomyces und Bakterien, die außerhalb
von Belgien oft als Organismen angesehen werden, die das
Bier verderben. Gleich die ersten Versuche haben begeisterte
Abnehmer gefunden. Nur an den kleinen Auflagen hatten die
Genießer etwas auszusetzen.
Die zweite Gelegenheit ergab sich 2005, als Stone Brewing
aus ihrem damaligen Brauhaus in San Marcos auszog, um
sich an anderer Stelle zu vergrößern. Eine Chance für Port
Brewing, an diesem Ort eine eigene, belgisch inspirierte Produktlinie aufzubauen und der steigenden Nachfrage zu begegnen. The Lost Abbey war aus der Taufe gehoben.
Das Label steht für herausfordernde, komplexe Ales. Belgien
liefert dabei die Inspiration. Tomme Arthurs Ziel ist es nicht,
die bekannten Stile getreu nachzubrauen, sondern den Geist
zu bewahren und weiterzuentwickeln. Die Idee für ein bestimmtes Geschmacksprofil weist den Weg, der Brauprozess
folgt. Die sauren Braustile, besonders die fassgereiften Lambiks, haben es Arthur angetan. Da die wilden Hefen, die sich
im Gebälk alter belgischer Braustätten ansiedeln, für eine
TOMME ARTHUR, DER
MAGIER DER HEFEN,
VERWIRKLICHT SEINE
VERSION EINER KLOSTERBRÄU IN KALIFORNIEN.
Spontanvergärung in Kalifornien nicht zur Verfügung stehen,
experimentiert Arthur bewusst mit verschiedenen Kulturen
und Zutaten: unterschiedlichen Brettanomyces-Stämmen,
Milchsäurebakterien, Mikroorganismen aus dem Holz der
Eichenfässer, Früchten und Kräutern. Das Mischen der verschiedenen gereiften Biere ist dann die Kür. Manchmal braut
Arthur auch mit zahmen Lagerhefen, vergärt sie aber bei höheren, Ale-typischen Temperaturen.
Die unkonventionelle Herangehensweise hat Tomme Arthur
zum Kultstar der Craft-Bier-Szene mit großer, treuer Anhängerschaft gemacht. Dabei wirkt er in der persönlichen Begegnung eher scheu. Der „Magier der Hefen“ hat sich trotz des
Ruhms seine Bescheidenheit und Hingabe bewahrt.
Bereits 2006, im ersten Jahr von Lost Abbey, regnete es Auszeichnungen: beste Kleinbrauerei und bester Kleinbrauer
beim Great American Beer Festival; ein Jahr später Champion
Small Brewery und Brewer beim World Beer Cup. Unzählige
Preise bekamen die einzelnen Biere der Lost Abbey, eins jedoch sticht hervor: „Cuvee de Tomme“. Diese Kostbarkeit ist
eine Verbeugung vor den roten Ales Flanderns. Ein mit Rosinenpüree gebrautes Quadrupel, vergoren mit drei Brettanomyces-Hefen, gelagert auf Sauerkirschen in Bourbon- und
Rotweinfässern – eine Einladung, sich auf die Magie einzulassen und sich zum keltischen Kreuz, dem Zeichen der Lost
Abbey, zu bekennen.

Going out to a restaurant or bar is always about more than just
eating and drinking. Whether we’re seeking the adventure of a
once-in-a-lifetime culinary experience or the familiarity of traditional cuisine, atmosphere makes a difference and we increasingly want it to be all-consuming. Let’s Go Out Again is an eclectic
showcase of atmospheric eating spaces from around the world.
The featured projects represent state-of-the-art collaborations
among architects, artists, designers, restaurateurs, and chefs that
target not only all of our senses, but our identities and values too.
The book is comprised of six chapters, each of which exemplifies an aesthetic and conceptual point of view: Understatement,
Modern Musings, Rough and Local, Progressive, Graphic Spaces,
and Dramatic.
The work featured in Knife and Fork proves that even small enterprises can create big design concepts —despite limited budgets.
Exploring how clever corporate identities can help new or niche
businesses succeed, the book is an inspiration for anyone thinking about founding their own company or giving an existing one
an unforgettable look. Although based on very different ideas, the
businesses presented in Knife and Fork are all defined by their originality and personal character. From chocolate manufacturers
to cooking schools, these distinctively eye-catching approaches
to branding represent a new generation of entrepreneurs who
understand how to creatively visualize business ideas and successfully communicate them across all channels.
Northern Delights reveals why hardly any other interior or product
design is so timeless, so functional, so aesthetic, and of such high
quality as that of Sweden, Norway, Finland, and Denmark. The
book’s stunning selection of Scandinavian design ranges from
individual products to skillfully staged living spaces. It showcases
classic, minimal, rustic, and pop styles that are united by their
simplicity, functionality, and love of light. Although it also presents iconic designs, the book focuses on the work of young talents
who are consciously building upon local sustainable design traditions and further developing them in a way that is consistent,
intelligent, and reflects an unerring sense of style.
The kitchen is the new living room: a space for social gathering,
collaborative cooking, and event hosting. Undergoing immense
transformation through time and continually adapting to current
social and aesthetic trends, the room that used to be a service area
relegated to the back of the house is now the multi-functional
hub of the home. Kitchen Kulture is an inspiring visual feast. The
examples presented here are testing grounds for innovation as
well as lively spaces that inspire a higher quality of life by promoting better eating habits and bringing together family and
friends. From vast open-plan kitchens to studio kitchenettes, the
professionals behind these designs uncover the full potential of
today’s kitchen through their creativity.

trend, or contributing to a disposable society. They would rather
seek objects of real value and own things with which they can

that are choosing to focus on craftsmanship and aiming to create
things with a soul. The book introduces small enterprises as well
as the personalities that drive them. Whether furniture, porcelain,
