Sloft #8

In this eighth bilingual French–English issue:

• 8 exclusive home tours. In Tokyo, Madrid and Paris, our new selection of interiors resists the uniformity of urban landscapes by asserting their individuality – like the bold mix of materials, colours and patterns in designer Pia Chevallier's apartment, or the radical functionality of Eduardo Mediero's apartment in Madrid.
• Our first "fashion essay", pairing a literary reflection with a fashion series: Ulysse Josselin's "The Ghost Apartment", on homes too big to grasp.
• An interview with the artist duo Xolo Cuintle, Romy Texier and Valentin Vie Binet, who work with concrete – a material they see as a barrier between nature and people – and give it roots, injecting it with the organic to reconnect it with the human.
