Disegno


Disegno
The Journal of Design
Bi-Annual
UK
Disegno is a thoughtful, interesting, and somewhat odd design publication by a studio of the same name. Each bi-annual edition has a comfortably mysterious feel, and features a collection of long essays on somewhat obscure design stories from across the world. Accompanying the words are photos and art, and it is printed on beautiful paper with a stylish design. Give this unusual design read a try.
