Design is more than meets the eye…
Hello, and welcome to our first Journal #00, ‘THE EYE’.
Here we explore and discover a new way of looking at design, the changing landscape, and offer up alternatives for a new way of seeing the world around us.
We’ve curated a mix of essays, lookbooks and stories that all speak to this theme and concept, also in a playful nod to the eye as motif. Enjoy!
