In ‘The Good, The Drab and the Ugly’, @matta1 talks about the start qualities of the brown cafes of Amsterdam — what makes them timeless bastions of community. In the constant and often unpredictable sea of new openings and closures, the brown cafes remain steadfast.
“…whoever turns up can fit right in, no reservations made.”
Why do we want cold, hard interiors that don’t invite us to linger and let our heads down, rather than those that are warm and soft?
For Toothsome Magazine, I explored how the Dutch brown café may hold surprising cues for conviviality and togetherness rather than the concrete, brushed steel coffee spots and bakeries Amsterdam is increasingly flooded with😅
MNC ISSUE 01
For the past year, we’ve been collaborating with @mnc_dao on their new AR magazine and we’re excited to share that the very first issue is now live!
It’s been such an inspiring journey helping shape and produce articles and AR experiences from the Amsterdam/Europe side of the project. Capturing the stories of artists and creatives who spark our curiosity and fuel our inspiration is truly a blessing. Exploring AR and its boundaries continues to be an ongoing experiment and research for us. The first issue was released during Paris Fashion week with PORTER by Yoshida & Co.
Shout out to @koheiharada.nl for bringing us on board and sharing this beautiful journey and a huge thank you to @matta1 for working so closely with us on copywriting and curation
A magazine that preserves the “now” and sensibilities of the world, for the future.
The cover story features PORTER by Yoshida & Co., celebrating its 90th anniversary.
In an age where information disappears in an instant, MNC chooses to preserve, gathering perspectives and sensibilities from around the globe to capture the air, thoughts, and spirit of this very moment… for someone 100 years from now.
