Scenic Views is a London-based interiors magazine that focuses on what it terms 'the everyday, the overlooked and the forgotten'. If you're looking for a World of Interiors-immersion in fine surroundings, furnishing and objects, this is most certainly something else, yet very much within the definition or remit of an interior design magazine.
This is because there are many ways people tell stories through their surroundings. Scenic Views would argue that the bars, cafes, hotels, transit centres, even our homes and other commonplace spaces that make a city are rarely remembered once they are gone or when we ourselves have moved moved on.
The publisher says, 'These places have become invisible to the mainstream, but they’re out there on the streets and alive with activity. They are both mysterious and seemingly banal. From filing papers in a cabinet to drinking Blue Hawaiians in an exotic themed lounge, each and every detail reveals something about the people who pass through them. This is where personal idiosyncrasies are expressed, and even the subtlest of decorations make all the difference. Together, they create a feeling that is difficult to define. It is a feeling of honesty and imagination, of past and present, of friends and strangers. Scenic Views is a celebration of that feeling, and of the people and places behind it.'
