The new issue of Acne Paper is created around the idea of a house with a fantasy collection of furniture, art and objects. To furnish our imaginary house we have been searching through time and place for the unique: from the most interesting pieces by contemporary designers, to iconic items in the history of decorative arts, from surreal objets d’art, to ancient antiques and invaluable masterworks.
The house has nine rooms and a garden: ten chapters which features a photographic story by some of the most exciting image makers of today. Behind every door there is also a conversation, an informal interview with ten remarkable people from the world of art, design, architecture, performance, literature and interiors. Not unlike the ballroom scene of the houses of New York and the stage performances of the opera houses of the world, there is a great sense of theatre under our roof. Each room of the house is brimming with talent, knowledge, ideas and creative exchange.
