Magazines from the world Design close to water Design close to water This edition of Swiss magazine Wohnrevue is all about Worlds of Water. It is a trip through high quality contemporary design and thrilling tales all tied together by a common thread...water, naturally. Benjamin Moser's editorial delves into the range of emotions that burst up when creating this issue of the magazine about Worlds of Water. The emotional journey takes its first steps at a charming hotel on the picturesque Amalfi Coast before heading to a breath-taking private home in Australia built on a fjord. Designer Patricia Urquiol's latest project also has a watery connection, with a hotel on Lake Como, as do an invigorating new line of taps and fittings, some latest generation floors, cool new products and the rising stars of Swiss design. Last, but definitely not least, is a visit to Olafur Eliasson's new installation, Life, in which the artist literally floods the Beyeler Foundation to force us to ponder living with this fluid element.
