The creative community of Australia and New Zealand is ready for something new in a design magazine. This growing community deserves a media brand that celebrates the region’s unique cultures, local materials and multicultural influences It deserves a magazine that reveals emerging talent, and profiles it alongside the work of the established. It deserves a magazine that is beautifully edited, photographed, designed and printed, and is an object of design all on its own. It deserves a magazine that can be kept, treasured and displayed on the coffee table or in the studio. It deserves both a look forward and a reminder of what makes the Australian and New Zealand design industries so special. The Australian and New Zealand edition of Design Anthology published biannually.

A Crafted Experience
The View from Above • Auckland-based landscape and documentary photographer Rachel Mataira worked in accounting and taxation before turning her side passion into a career, gaining the confidence to go full-time after her documentary work had been published by various organisations and outlets and she was named New Zealand Geographic’s Young Photographer of the Year in 2020. ‘Photography has always inspired me to explore our environment and to be acutely aware of nature. My landscape photography focuses on the ever-changing beauty of our earth and how we interact with it,’ she says. ‘I’m fascinated by natural lighting, shadows, scale and seasonal changes. The pandemic means my photography is locally based for now, but I’m excited to start exploring other countries’ landscapes once the borders are open again.’
