Ark Journal Volume 5

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

Nature and its creative force have always been a source of inspiration and motifs in art, architecture and design. In Scandinavia the stark differences between the seasons amplify this consciousness of nature and its recurring patterns.

In Volume 5 the authors examine the relationship between art, architecture and design and the natural world. Leading figures from those worlds share their personal perspectives on the magical intertwining of people, objects and nature.

Volume 5 comes with an exclusive book extract about the personal spaces Donald Judd created in Marfa, Texas and an insert on journeys to China and Terra Ignota (Foreign Lands).

From a loft in Tribeca, New York, to a classic historical Copenhagen apartment and a rustic Italian palazzo, homes are visited that demonstrate a sensitivity towards nature, art and timeless design that encourages reflection and inspiration.

Volume 5 has four different covers, we randomly pick one for you.
