From the maker

Have you ever imagined yourself writing a book or composing a song? What if we turned our daily lives into a tangle of intersecting narratives, stories, people and places that we discover, between deconstructed, somewhat romanticised symbolisms? In this issue, our prose takes its cue from physical spaces where actions take place and unfold. A meeting point for dialogues, like the subtlety of a music score, between textures, shapes and rhythms. If played repetitively, we slip into the monotony of routine. But here, each item is like a new piece of music that describes a new chapter. And so, we challenge our readers to explore different dynamics and intensities, through ambiences that take us from pianissimo to fortissimo. Too much music for your liking?

Our suggestion is to allow yourself to be inspired by the composition of the following pages, which bring a new breath of air – whether it's through the refreshing graphic nuances or the places we propose and reveal to you. This Romance unfolds through a myriad of scenarios that combine suggestions which resonate with comfort, sophistication, connection and materiality. At the same time, we want to strip away any pretentiousness and savour the varied forms of expression that come to us from the four corners of the world.
