THE DESIGN ISSUE N°10
In this new issue of ARCHIVIO, Editors Jasper Morrison and Marco Sammicheli, offer a mapping of the design archives international landscape at this moment in time and an overview of the many typologies and influences in the design world, divided in three sections: "Organizations", "Brands", "Designers & Creatives".
The first section, “Organizations”, includes institutions, museums and foundations that exhibit or treasure objects that have made design history, or are writing it right now.
“Brands”, on the other hand, is the section concerned with telling the story and consecrating some of the most internationally relevant companies, and doing so through their archival treasures.
The last section, though not least, is that of “Designers & Creatives”, featuring very different personalities united by their genius and ability to grasp the needs of society, drawing inspiration from it precisely.
The Design Issue also includes a special poster: an (in)complete mapping of the many design archives in Italy. A research by Promemoria visually processed by Accurat. The result is a map that is also a small work of art.

ARCHIVIO magazine is an innovative publishing project which focus will be exclusively on the archive’s culture and reality. It is the first time that a publishing venture is born out of the need to enhance this huge heritage. Every issue will be constructed around a theme, but in a loose way, browsing from art to fashion, culture, sport, design, cinema, science, photography… No barriers.
