Family Style #2: Objects of Affection

Family Style describes itself as ‘a fantasy dinner party in the form of an arts and culture journal.’ While the name is borrowed most obviously from the style of shared eating, it is also inspired by the congregation of a shared discourse.

Guest editor and open-fire cooking pioneer Francis Mallmann (page 21) guest edits their sophomore issue, themed ‘Objects of Affection’. Consider it Family Style’s design issue but, more broadly, ‘it’s a consideration of materiality and our relationship with it. How are the pieces we own and the spaces we inhabit an extension of our own person? And how can they transform it?’
