Ark Journal Volume 6

Ark Journal is a biannual magazine founded by Mette Barfod and made by an experienced team of designers, stylists, photographers and editors.

We live in a time of immense change and hyper-sensitivity, with an acute awareness of how much everything we design, make and produce will resonate now and in the future. The authors have dedicated Volume 6 to the bright minds and talents who have captivated and inspired us in a time of flux and they take their lead from thoughtful designers, artists, architects, and curators with strong views and priorities. 

A leading voice is the designer, creative director and author Ilse Crawford, whose humanistic approach to design fosters wellbeing. Hers is a simple mission to put human needs and desires at the heart of her work.

Look out for insightful reflections from Jonny Johansson, the mastermind behind Acne Studios, artist Mark Manders, Amaryllis Jacobs of gallery Maniera, architect-designer couple Malene Hvidt and Nikolaj Lorentz Mentze, and architect and essayist Justine Bell.

Special attention is drawn to creators and their different perspectives on craftsmanship and making. The revival of craft and the placing of a higher value on the act of making will be important in the future.

Volume 6 has four different covers, we randomly pick one for you.
