In this issue

In this issue, we examine the facets of sustainability within the Philippine context. Yola Johnson’s flat, though thousands of feet in the sky, is tethered to the ground in its use of all things from the earth. In her home, we see a solid example of pieces with material honesty. The pieces make no attempt to overly process their material origin, consequently celebrating them. Fibre curtains and rugs are everywhere in her home, providing a kind of texture that is unlike anything a machine could produce. Inconsistency, asymmetry and all the things that modern design seems to challenge, are championed by her objects, embodying creatively crafted local pieces at their very finest. What was once seen as imperfection, now becomes proof of a material’s authenticity.
