MacGuffin
The Life of Things
Bi-annual
Amsterdam, Netherlands
In English
MacGuffin must be experienced! This biannual publication is a blend of design, history, art and cultural studies. Each issue is on one object - they have covered desks, balls, trousers and rope, to name a few - where they delve into the history and craft of the thing. Packed with fascinating images and long, often peculiar essays, each immaculately designed issue is the missing history of one object, and endlessly interesting. One of my favorite publications, this hefty page-turner is addictive. Give it a try!
