The Platinum Issue from design et al. The Platinum issue celebrates over a decade in print, 14 to be precise, this year. It was the first of our bold steps into hard back publishing back in 2010. At the time, it was exactly as a regular magazine would be in terms of content, with a variety of features and articles of varying length and theme. Over the past few years, the contents have developed in line with its look and feel, and are essentially a collections of diverse design projects from all corners of the globe.
The common factor is that all are by designers who have been highly acclaimed, and shortlisted in The International Design Awards. Some are hotel projects, other residential schemes. All can take us to another place. Good design can certainly do this; I personally find the escapism much needed in a hectic world of upheaval.
