STORE OF THE MONTH: FAMILY / LOS ANGELES

Since we have that arch-American of all genres – comics, as exemplified by Chris Ware – on our cover these days, we thought we should introduce one of our first and most loyal stores in the US this month, with the nice name of Family, which is the place to go to if you’re after [...]

STORE OF THE MONTH: BANANAFISH BOOKS / DALIAN

Anyone who has ever been to China will have experienced how difficult it is to get foreign magazines there, let alone any magazines that are worth the paper they are printed on. This is mainly due to the fact that the distribution of printed matter is still overseen by the Ministry for Communication, and importing [...]

MAGCULTURE SHOP

A nice new idea from magCulture, who we like, as you might have noticed. They’ve just opened their new online store, which is actually more like a personal recommendation: A selection of 8 independent titles only, handpicked by founder Jeremy Leslie. The deal is that each title will be available in limited stock only and [...]

STORE OF THE MONTH: VOO / BERLIN

It was only a matter of time that Berlin’s Kreuzberg district would get its own proper fashion store. Lucky for us, it happened to be Voo, which has its own particular style of fashion, magazines, decent coffee and understatement that blends in perfectly with our favourite area. A great selection of designers including Henrik Vibskov, [...]

HAPPY TWELFTH BIRTHDAY PRO QM!

Happy 12th birthday Pro qm! Pro qm was opened twelve years ago, in July 1999. To celebrate this milestone, they have asked twelve designers and artists to design twelve different cloth bags. Starting now, in November, a new bag will appear each month, exclusively available in the bookshop, for as long as supplies last. Åbäke [...]

ZÜRICH VERSUS HONG KONG

mono.gramm has two new stores that we are very happy about: our first outpost in Zürich, the lovely Making Things, is a great little boutique for all the things we like: smart and casual womenswear and nifty little things to take home. On the other side of the globe, our Autumn/Winter collection is now available [...]

STORE OF THE MONTH: OMMU / ATHENS

With Greece getting little more attention than to its unprecedented budget deficit, it’s worth pointing out that in spite of the admittedly difficult times, life goes on, people go about whatever it is they do, and anyway, there is more to life than just money. Good books, for instance, and that is precisely what our [...]

READING ROOM

In the middle of this week’s art frenzy with Berlin’s abc art fair opening yesterday, here’s a little oasis to recover: bang in the middle of the city’s new art hotspot around Potsdamer Strasse, our friends at Do You Read Me?! are opening a new space, as of tomorrow evening. First up: their excellent reading [...]
