Mix Interiors

The latest issue of Mix Interiors is out now, highlighting pioneering, risk-taking design and fresh new concepts. Inside issue 232 we speak to WeWantMore ’s Ruud Belmans, whose work with McDonald's imagines a world in which circular design is made fit for the masses, and BradyWilliams co-founder Shayne Brady, who has felt the benefit of taking chances – in life as well as work. A host of inspirational project case studies also highlights the bold and visionary. We return to M Moser Associates’ ‘testbed’ living lab in Paris to explore lessons learnt, stay at Edinburgh’s vibrant W Hotel designed by Jestico Whiles, and tour the SODA Studio-designed co-living space, where a former 70s office block has been boldly repurposed. In London, we visit Hawkins\Brown's recently unveiled HQ and check-in to The Emory, where multiple interiors heavyweights have devised a variety of spaces under one roof. Elsewhere, we feature two, future-facing Mix Roundtables: on designing spaces for the next generation with modulyss, and asking if modularity could deliver more sustainable, future-proofed environments with Specialist Group - Joinery | Glass | Metal . Plus, we sit down with cutting-edge material designer Jonas Edvard to discuss his work and vision for the future of material science, reflect on our highlights from a busy season of design festivals and hear the latest insights from our regular expert columnists.
