book | The Touch (New Edition)

THE TOUCH – SPACES DESIGNED FOR THE SENSES, the first collaboration between Nathan Williams of Kinfolk and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Norm Architects, takes readers into over 25 inspiring spaces whose interior design is not only visually appealing but also stimulates all the senses.

Through beautiful homes, hotels, museums, and shops—from contemporary designs by Ilse Crawford and Bijoy Jain to classic objects by Arne Jacobsen—readers are invited to explore how experiencing elements such as light, nature, materiality, color, and community can consciously reconnect us with our senses and enrich each day. Alongside stunning photographs and interviews with leading design experts like John Pawson and David Thulstrup, the book also includes detailed philosophical and art historical references that reflect the tradition of design and color theory.

For a deeper understanding of the concepts examined, THE TOUCH includes an appendix with portraits of architects such as Lina Bo Bardi and Richard Neutra. Historical design pieces that influenced this movement are also featured in the book.
