Wassily Chair.

In celebration of its 60 years in business, London-based furniture company Aram has partnered with US manufacturer Knoll to launch a limited edition of the iconic Wassily Chair by Marcel Breuer. The release will pay homage to the brand’s founder, Zeev Aram, and commemorates the chair’s significance as the first product to be sold at his flagship shop on the King’s Road. Originally designed by Breuer in 1925, the Wassily chair quickly gained recognition as one of the most notable designs of the Bauhaus movement for its functionality and sculptural form.

Brutal Wales.

Simon Phipps surveys the scale, ambition and diversity of post-war building in Wales. From the new town of Cwmbran, the immense Trostre Steelworks, the iconic George Street Bridge of Newport to smaller municipal projects such as Theatr Ardudwy in Harlech and libraries and schools across the land, this is an inspiring look at an era of architectural ambition and change. Where preserved, or sometimes simply forgotten, these buildings belong within the rugged landscapes and industrial townscapes as bold testaments of Welsh creativity and post-war renewal.

Wild Memory Radio.

Wild Memory Radio is a project by WePresent by WeTransfer, in collaboration with Seb Emina. It can be thought of as a kind of gallery, except rather than objects or artworks it contains memories. Each of these memories belongs to a leading creative, cultural or artistic figure, and each is about a place: a specific location that changed that person in some way, or had a lasting impact on their work. The project was conceived at a time when travel was impossible, when the notion of a “sense of place” had become imbued with unusual poignancy.
