Design explored in all its facets and architecture—these are the beating hearts of Frame, the magazine founded in Amsterdam in 1997 by Rober Thiemann.
What makes this bimonthly magazine truly special, besides being one of the leading publications in the field, is that since its launch, it has remained faithful to its mission: to position interior architecture as a creative profession just as important as design and architecture.
The magazine is sold in 77 countries and is printed in English and Korean.

ISSUE 161 - PLAYTIME

When society faces challenging times, it’s refreshing to have the opportunity to embrace the lighter side of life, and that’s why the spring edition of Frame pays tribute to joy and unexpected wonder.
In this issue, you’ll find a broad selection of playful products that are redefining the market, from items designed for experimentation and personalization to custom-made furniture for children, and much more.
You’ll also discover how playfulness can become an effective tool to enhance public spaces, how involving children in design helps create environments that stimulate curiosity, imagination, and exploration, how sensory play—through touch, smell, sound, and sight—can enrich culinary experiences, and how color can transform into a powerful narrative tool.
Two prominent academics will offer insights on how designers can draw inspiration from science to create spaces that promote well-being, the role of more critical and human-centered education and practice in the creation of “joyful” buildings, and why happiness should be conceived as a continuum rather than a singular goal.
Finally, immerse yourself in interdisciplinary creative projects that rediscover the positive power of design, celebrating nostalgia, optimism, and personal expression.
