UD Magazine launches in Marbella, London and Milan

UD Magazine is design-led, design-focused and design-centred. “All problems are solved by good design” is the central belief. Published by UDesign and produced by designers and architects, it reflects the company’s love of design and innovation, and the desire to pass that passion onto others. Featuring an eccentric and eclectic mix of personalities, it will serve up inspiration, innovation and the latest in design, three times a year.
UD Magazine is divided into four sections: Architecture, Interior Design, Furniture and Lifestyle.
UD ARCHITECTURE
For this inaugural issue we visit 5 Spanish bodegas with exceptional architecture. Some, like Frank Gehry’s Marqués de Riscal vineyard hotel in La Rioja, are startling in their audacity.
In our feature article we explore the concept of designing a home from the “inside-out”. Breaking down walls, both figuratively and metaphorically, is part and parcel of exceptional house design.
UD INTERIOR DESIGN
We visit London’s famous Eaton Square to find out how a Marbella-based company got to create the interiors for one of England’s most exclusive properties.
We talk to Jason Harris, the Creative Director at UDesign about the art of creating the contemporary well-designed bedroom. And we discuss art and business with the “Darling of Designers”, the Cobra Art Company.
UD FURNITURE
We interview Kenneth Cobonpue, who creates some of the most outstanding works of contemporary industrial design in the world today.
The ‘bespoke culture’ is a big part of UD and we look at the ancient and noble art of creating furniture.
UD LIFESTYLE
For our regular feature on ‘Designer Escapes’ we stay at a wonderfully eccentric hotel in London – The Exhibitionist in London’s South Kensington – and a spectacular converted monastery in Asturias, northern Spain.
We also visit Owanto in her studio in Marbella to talk about art, colour, design and what’s really important in life.
And finally, we review the latest design trends and provide a handy guide to Europe’s architecture and design exhibitions in 2018.
UD Magazine is distributed in Marbella, London and Milan. If you’d like to receive a hard copy – please let us know!
