WHEN MAGAZINE

He also designs, writes and publishes WHEN Magazine, a cultural look at “what’s coming after what’s coming next”. WHEN takes place ten years in the future and takes a deep dive into products, film and social trends. It takes a calculated look at where our ideas about design, art, style and our love of ‘objects’ is taking us.
