The legendary Acne Paper relaunched in 2021 as an interesting hybrid, somewhere between a book and a magazine in a new design and format. The latest issue goes even further in this direction with an highly experimental publication that is part biography, part novel, part cultural art journal and part fashion magazine.
The new issue of Acne Paper is created around the idea of a house with a fantasy collection of furniture, art and objects. 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 is brimming with talent, knowledge, ideas and conversations. The house of Acne Paper 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 a conversation, an informal interview with ten remarkable people from the world of art, design, architecture, performance, literature and interiors. 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.
