In this edition we navigate the fascinating intersection of heritage and high-tech. We begin with the luminous precision of the LUMO optical grill, before seeking refuge in Tokyo’s literary hideaway, Book and Beds. We track the return of vintage habits in a modern world and visit the SPAM Museum to dissect the ‘cubism’ of an immutable icon. Finally, we digitize vinyl crates with the Plastic app and lose ourselves in the velvet Yacht-Funk of Thundercat’s latest release, Distracted. Settle in for a curated journey through functional excellence and sonic mastery.
