In the fifth edition of our collaboration with Sodabooks, we present you four new books and magazines for late summer – we will not call it autumn yet! The perfect read for this season – so grab your best pillow or blanket, make yourself comfortable with coffee or tea, and enjoy the last sunrays. It’s wonderful because you don’t need to wear sunscreen anymore – or sad? Not sure about it.

 

 

 

Notamuse Magazine

 

A kick-ass book on some of the best works in Graphic Design, by established studios as well as promising newcomers. Complemented by interviews conducted with 22 female designers, sociologists and design theorists, Notamuse is a brilliant response to the predominantly male presence in the design scene.

Kill the perfectionist in you. Take a deep breath, sit back and dive into the world of Profane, which has only one pet subject: the amateur. This wonderfully small formatted magazine from Paris will take you by the hand and remind you of the beauty of being passionate about something, without having to deal with all the hustle that comes with being a pro at it.

Pleasure Garden

 

 

Think Pleasure Gardens from the 18th century, but printed on paper yet just as luscious: A mix of greenery, art, culture, society, sex and beautiful imagery make this big format magazine an absolute feast for the eyes. Worth buying just to have it laying around nicely on your coffee table.

MacGuffin

 

 

Take your pants off and take a closer look at them. Make notes and then compare them with the current issue of the design and crafts magazine MacGuffin: you will most likely be surprised. Each issue is based around one random object and it’s this magazine’s aim to take you on a beautifully designed and unexpected journey revolving this one object. A title absolutely worth collecting and picking back up to re-read every now and then.
