The creative community of Australia and New Zealand is ready for something new in a design magazine. This growing community deserves a media brand that celebrates the region’s unique cultures, local materials and multicultural influences It deserves a magazine that reveals emerging talent, and profiles it alongside the work of the established. It deserves a magazine that is beautifully edited, photographed, designed and printed, and is an object of design all on its own. It deserves a magazine that can be kept, treasured and displayed on the coffee table or in the studio. It deserves both a look forward and a reminder of what makes the Australian and New Zealand design industries so special. The Australian and New Zealand edition of Design Anthology published biannually.

Catching Light • When Melbourne-based photographer Jack Lovel started a personal project to document the Perth buildings designed by Iwan Iwanoff, he didn’t know that the five-year journey would result in the most comprehensive visual documentation of the Bulgarian architect’s work to ever be published. For Lovel, who grew up in the Iwanoffdesigned Jordanoff House in Perth, this project was as much about the homeowners as it was about the architect’s astonishing legacy and the indelible mark he left on Western Australia’s architectural landscape. Catching Light: The Architecture of Iwan Iwanoff — Through the Lens of Jack Lovel is the photographer’s first book, and was published in 2021.
