Touch, the: Spaces Designed for the Senses (Second Edition)

PRE ORDER - AVAILABLE MARCH/APRIL 2025

This new edition of the first collaboration between Kinfolk and Norm Architects, welcomes readers into over 25 inspiring spaces where interior design engages all of the human senses.

Through beautiful homes, hotels, museums, and retail stores, from contemporary designs to classic cases, readers are invited to explore how elements such as light, nature, materiality, colour, and community can deliberately bring us back to our senses and imbue every day with a richer quality.

In addition to stunning photography and interviews with design industry leaders as John Pawson and David Thulstrup, the book also details philosophical and art history references that reflect the tradition of design and colour theory.

For a deeper understanding of the concepts explored, The Touch includes an appendix which profiles architects such as Lina Bo Bardi and Richard Neutra. Heritage design pieces that helped influence this movement are also listed in the book.
