The fifth issue of this annual magazine, dedicated to promoting and celebrating know-how, technique and excellence in design, craft and industry, focuses on a simple yet fundamental gesture: the act of spinning.
Through a carefully curated selection of articles, interviews, and visual essays, this edition explores spinning—in all its forms and meanings—as a technical action, a creative movement and a metaphor. From pottery and woodturning to the gears that power complex machines and circular motions in industrial processes, it examines how this ancient gesture remains vital in contemporary practices.
By highlighting a movement that involves precision, repetition and rhythm, the magazine invites readers to think about the relationship between body, tool and material, revealing how manual and mechanical processes intertwine in the creation of objects that are both functional and artistic.
This issue not only documents techniques but also celebrates the beauty of know-how, reaffirming the importance of knowledge passed down through generations and the ongoing renewal of trades in today’s world.
