Most decorating books focus on one designer; the rest focus on one period, one trend, one room. Inspired Design from Jennifer Boles, has the big picture: ALL the names everybody must know from the entire 100-year history of interior design. Each designer is profiled and illustrated with three to four photographs of their best work; what we can learn from them—and how they changed decorating forever—is clearly highlighted to catch the eye.

Copenhagen-based, Ark Journal is a biannual magazine founded by Editor-in-Chief Mette Barfod and made by an experienced team of designers, stylists, photographers and editors.
In Volume IV we recognize the shifting changes of the world, and take this opportunity to look introspectively at the home as a living reflection of our passions. The past months have reinforced the importance of the home: as a sanctuary, a safe place, somewhere to share intimate moments with family and friends. For Nordic modern furniture dealer and designer Rune Bruun Johansen, his Copenhagen apartment is an ascetic space, creating a perfect backdrop for his selected design pieces. In London, Michael Anastassiades lives as he works, in a deeply pared back and considered way, and the designer shares his international perspective on Danish design. The Nordic residences we visit in this issue each reflect the values of the building itself as well as a yearning to be close to nature. We are taken on an intimate journey through the family home of Magniberg founders Bengt Thornefors and Nina Norgren in an exclusive photo essay by Mikael Olsson. We visit a perfect small house on the coast north of Copenhagen designed and built by Halldor Gunnløgsson in the late 1950s. Combining influences from US modernists and Japanese aesthetics with Danish building traditions, the house is today considered an iconic 20th-century work. The only museum building outside Finland that Alvar Aalto designed, Kunsten Museum of Modern Art Aalborg is a light-filled work of art itself. Designed with his wife Elissa Aalto and Jean-Jacques Baruël, Kunsten houses furniture and fittings specifically produced for the spaces. A restaurant conceived by artist Olafur Eliasson is a living experiential work of art, architecture and gastronomy. We talk to Michael Maharam about how he chose to furnish his John Pawson-designed home in South Tyrol, and his love for Danish design throughout. Originality, craftsmanship and democracy are fundamental elements of Danish design, historically and today. As a Copenhagen-based magazine, it felt natural to highlight these principles in this issue. In two case studies we explore new talents on the local design scene and architect made furniture from the golden age of Danish modern. Volume IV includes two special inserts: a collection of radical and rare Danish chairs from the archives and a poetic film noir evocation of fashion and metallic retro accessories.

Founded in 1962 by Yves Saint Laurent and his partner, Pierre Bergé, the fashion house Yves Saint Laurent has for more than half a century been synonymous with excellence in modern and iconic style. From Yves Saint Laurent’s revolutionary and enduringly popular tuxedo suit for women, le smoking , to iconic art-inspired creations, from Mondrian dresses to precious Van Gogh embroidery and the famous Ballets Russes collection, the house’s haute couture line has been hugely influential in changing the way modern women dress. This definitive publication opens with a concise history of the house before exploring the collections themselves, organized chronologically and ending in 2002, the year that Yves Saint Laurent retired from the company he started. Each collection is introduced by a short text elucidating its influences and highlights and is illustrated with carefully curated catwalk images, each season styled as the designer intended and worn by the world’s top models. The book showcases hundreds of spectacular clothes, details, accessories, beauty looks, and set designs.
