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, transports readers to over 25 inspiring spaces whose interiors are not only visually appealing but also engage 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 return us to our senses and give each day a richer quality. In addition to stunning photography and interviews with leading design experts such as John Pawson and David Thulstrup, the book also includes detailed philosophical and art historical references that reflect the tradition of design and color theory.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 explored, 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 listed in the book.
