Issue No. 25: Obsessions: A Self Portrait
This issue approaches space in the era of the ‘-holic’—the workaholic, the shopaholic—through the theme ‘Obsessions: A Self Portrait’. It explores the moment when the things we love begin to consume us, and asks whether that surrender might not be such a bad thing after all.
Inside, Openhouse introduces readers to people defined by their proclivities: from the Enrich family, for whom filling rooms with collected and treasured objects is anything but a patrilineal trait, to Paris-based Studio KO, who argue that meaningful design demands a meticulous and deeply devoted research process. Elsewhere, Luis Sendino opens the doors to his 500-piece collection of Japanese postwar furniture, featuring gorgeous sculptural walnut zaisu and functional ceramics. As Imma Buendia writes in her editor’s letter: ‘these obsessions make life a far more interesting place to be’.
