AMERICAN DREAMS
Artists and designers the world over continue to choose to make the US their home. As the latest newcomers in this ‘nation of immigrants’ join a crowd of inspiring locals with dual heritage, their varied experiences help shape creative America. To celebrate the country’s role as a meeting point of creative minds, we look at the plurality of voices contributing to its enduring crucible of culture and dynamism. We speak to five studios – whose founders (all Wallpaper* US400 honorees) have roots in Poland, Vietnam, India, South Korea and China, but who have made the US their creative base – about how their heritage influences their output.
STAR SIGNS
We pay homage to seminal American graphics
TOUR DE FORCE
Itinerant Haitian artist Hervé Sabin, whose masterful salvaged-wood sculptures have made him a Loewe Foundation Craft Prize finalist, travels with hope and creative strength
BOHEMIAN RHAPSODY
Architect and photojournalist Nipun Prabhakar sings the praises of Austrian architect Carl Pruscha’s work in Nepal and Sri Lanka
BEYOND THE BLUE HORIZON
A post-pandemic resurgence of interest in Greek island hopping is characterised by a more mindful approach, with visitors digging deeper and staying longer at under-the-radar destinations for a less performative experience of Aegean life
PARADE GROUND
For our Salone preview, we shine a spotlight on the star attractions at the 64th edition of Milan’s annual design trade show, on from 21-26 April
TALKING HEADS
Ancient artefacts and unapologetically contemporary pieces strike up a dynamic design dialogue in the desert residence of a distinguished collector
WORKING WONDERS
Collaboration and conversation are high on the agenda at Bonetti/Kozerski Architecture’s new office in New York
