To celebrate Ettore Sottsass’ 102nd birthday, a sneak peek at the Tokyo issue, arriving late fall. This house by Sottsass and @johannagrawunder was built for a legendary Japanese design doyenne in 1991-92. #ettoresottsass #johannagrawunder #tokyopostmodern #millenialpinkbeforemillenialpink @yukoshima.it Photo by @cb
Our personal Copenhagen recommendations are now up on our website, which include museums, restaurants, design shops, and of course architecture! At the top of the list is Arne Jacobsen’s classic SAS Hotel near the train station. Insider’s tip: if you ask the concierge nicely, they will show you Room 606, which has been kept intact since the hotel opened in 1960. #arnejacobsen #sashotel #room606 #copenhagenmodernism
Good news: the MEXICO CITY and NEW JERSEY issues are back in stock, and the COPENHAGEN issue ships this Monday July 8th. Happy 4th everyone 🇺🇸
Weekends are for eating. Why not do it in style with one of over a dozen cutlery designs by the great Jens Quistgaard, the Dane in Dansk (where he was the head designer for many decades). Read all about Quistgaard and Dansk in the forthcoming Copenhagen issue, with an in-depth text by @quistgaarddesign. #jensquistgaard #danskdesign @knifeforkspoon.co crossover episode.
AUGUST always comes in like a lion (and sometimes like a lamb). With great pride we are launching our Copenhagen issue today at “Hotel Charlottenborg” during 3 Days of Design. Thank you to everyone who made this possible: @arkjournal @3daysofdesign @nr2154nyc @irinaboersma @thomasloof @elizabethheltoft @msjeniporter @mette_barfod_ @anewplatform @frederikbillebrahe . Photo by Thomas Loof of the Bjorn Wiinblad cast iron incense burner in front of his Blue House in Lyngby, Copenhagen.
The Copenhagen issue is printed!! Now comes the hardest part: waiting for them to get into the warehouse so that we can get them out... expect them to be on shelves by late June as the latest. The issue is also available for pre-order on our online shop. . Thank you to everyone who made this issue possible: @jacobwildschiodtz @nr2154nyc @irinaboersma @elizabethheltoft @thomasloof @msjeniporter @aileenkwun @memonewyork @soerenbehncke @starvefood @darrinalfred @glenn_adamson @frederikbillebrahe @quistgaarddesign

Too excited not to share! An image from the feature in the Copenhagen issue about the commissioned ceramics for the new Noma restaurant, photographed by @irinaboersma, styled by @rudolph1970, with a text by @msjeniporter. When René Redzepi opened “Noma 2.0” this past year, he worked with long time collaborator Christine Rudolph to commission five potters to produce all the ceramics for their three menus. The results are lovingly documented in this dreamy story. Thank you to @starvefood for making the shoot possible!
Announcing AUGUST issue 05: COPENHAGEN. Arriving soon. Guest edited by @jacobwildschiodtz and @nr2154nyc, with cover by @soerenbehncke. Stories on Cecilie Manz, Bodil Manz, Noma, Bjorn Wiinblad, the new Copenhagen baking scene, Vivianna Torun Bulöw-Hübe, new Danish designers, and much much more 😍
Hanging out with some friends at Canal Iconic Magazines.
We are back at the AUGUST bat cave but all we can think about are these brooms from Tokyo. #tokyoedition #augustjournal #thisfall
Buongiorno New Jersey. Seen in the wild at Armani Libri Milan. @opeter @memonewyork #augustjournal
Working on the Tokyo edition for this fall: food, craft, culture. It will be a very special issue.
Flashback to our Milan issue, where we featured the Casa Corbellini-Wasserman by the architect Piero Portaluppi. This week the space reopened as the newest and grandest exhibition space for Massimo De Carlo Gallery (images 4-5). Do not miss it the next time you are in Milan.

Our design hero @dhwendygoodman, editor at New York magazine and author of numerous books including her magnum opus MAY I COME IN?, with the Mexico City issue 💙 (Wendy is also wearing our favorite @marcjacobs coat.)
Happy birthday to Louis Kahn, who would have been 118 today. Shown here is his last residential commission, the Korman House from 1973, as photographed by @chrismottalini for the New Jersey issue (along with the Clever House from 1957). And don’t miss @langealexandra’s text on the two houses, “The Tetrahedron and the Prism.” #louiskahn #newjersey #modernarchitecture
Original artwork by Olimpia Zagnoli for sale! Many of you have asked if we are reprinting our first issue on Milan... it’s in the works one day, but right now you can get something even better: a limited edition artwork of the cover designed by @olimpiazagnoli for our first issue! Go to www.olimpiazagnoli.com/shop, there are only 20 prints.
The exhibition “Frida Kahlo: Appearances Can Be Deceiving”, all about the Mexican artist icon, opens February 8th at the @brooklynmuseum. We are thrilled to feature in the Mexico City a black-and-white portfolio by the photographer Graciela Iturbide of Frida’s bathroom, taken in 2006 when the room was opened for the first time since Frida’s death. An accompanying interview by @madamemallet recounts how Kahlo has been haunting Iterbide since. Copies of the Mexico City issue will be available for sale at the exhibition, along with selected items curated by the AUGUST Team. #fridakahlo #mexicocity #cdmx #augustjournal
From day 1 we always dreamed of being sold at an old-fashioned magazine kiosk in the historic center of an Italian town. Our dream came true with @edicola_518, in downtown Perugia 😍. But Edicola 518 is also online at edicola518.com, so visit them online or IRL at via Sant'Ercolano 42/A in Perugia today!
