Design Anthology #42

This issue of Design Anthology moves from a converted church turned family home in Christchurch to a jungle estate built from reclaimed timber in Bali, a concrete house wrapped in planting in Kuala Lumpur and a clever urban apartment in Singapore. We revisit a legendary Tokyo hotel after its long-awaited renovation, check in to a new Bangkok address challenging its founder’s escapist roots and trace a three-day itinerary through Mumbai’s historic neighbourhoods. Elsewhere, a new generation experiments with one of Southeast Asia’s most storied textiles and a modernist gallery in Vietnam connects emerging artists with collectors, alongside a global round-up of favourite new hotels, books, objects, places and more.
