NEW @ SWIPE: Louis I Kahn
The esteemed monograph on the globally-revered modern master – includes Roosevelt Island, Four Freedoms Park, which was completed after Kahn’s death
The significance of the work of Louis I Kahn, one of the greatest influences on post-WWII world architecture, has skyrocketed in the twenty-first century. Robert McCarter’s bestselling and critically acclaimed monograph explains how Kahn redefined Modern architecture and why his work remains a fundamental source for architects and designers today.
Now thoughtfully updated, this comprehensive and extensively illustrated overview features both built and unbuilt projects, including Yale University Art Gallery, Kimbell Art Museum, and the Salk Institute, along with his work in India and Bangladesh, as well as a project realized forty years after Kahn’s death – New York City’s Four Freedoms Park.

Designed by Nicholas Wiig Hansen, the Raawii Strøm Collection is distinguished by Hansen’s signature focus on shape being informed by function.
Drawing inspiration from still lifes by Danish modernist artist Vilhelm Lundstrøm this sculptural ceramic vase—handmade in Portugal using a slip-cast technique—marries refined simplicity with everyday function, picking up on the color palette and minimal yet mindful proportions of the simplified bowl, vessels and vases that characterize Lundstrøm's work.

Kinfolk has always encouraged the art of living intentionally—of carving out one’s own corner and existing thoughtfully within it—but for Issue Fifty-Two, we’re flipping the script and exploring the powerful currents that can seep in and sway our decision-making: power, money, politics and, well, other people. In Issue Fifty-Two, you’ll find Kaitlin Phillips, the indie New York publicist with it-girl energy whose job is to manufacture influence for her creative clients. Then there’s Anna Sorokin, who, under her alias, Anna Delvey, manipulated a remarkable sum of money out of Manhattan’s elite. Later, we meet fashion model Dennis Okwera, who, having escaped the brutality of the Lord’s Resistance Army in Uganda, has spearheaded a philanthropic foundation to uplift his community. Elsewhere, we discuss the upcoming presidential election with Waleed Shahid, a senior political strategist behind campaigns for Bernie Sanders and Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez, visit the internet’s favorite chef Alison Roman and take Karl Lagerfeld’s beloved pet and muse Choupette on a summer vacation.
