RUM International Edition Issue 17 – New Era

In this issue of the international edition of RUM we explore the theme ‘The Future’. Our cover is a case in point – the rooms have been created using AI while the furniture and objects have been photographed the old fashioned way. A scenario reflecting what is happening around us. How will all this new and ground-breaking technology change our world, our working lives, the way in which we see reality?

We put those questions to six creatives who process their hopes and fears for the future through their work, which in many ways reflects both the old and the new world. Craftsmanship and high tech, side by side. Whether it’s experimenting with bio-based building materials, making furniture from offcuts or planning an actual moon landing, the current generation of designers, architects and artists are acutely aware of the future.

In uncertain times our home becomes more important than ever to us modern people. Here we can find healing and comfort, as trend forecaster Sara Ingemann explains, and we take a closer look at the concepts of the healing home, the planet positive home, the inclusive home and the AItopic home and learn more about how long table dinners, arty interiors, natural materials and AI technology will shape our everyday lives in the future.

And talking about amazing homes – in this issue, we invite you inside the homes of Copenhagen creatives, who very much inspire, and visit a four floor Brooklyn townhouse, which is an exercise in contrast and calm and a masterpiece in flow and textures.

RUM is a brand and a point of reference in its own right. We are the leading authority when it comes to style, design, and architecture.

We are rooted in the Scandinavian way of life, but have a truly international scope. We are first with new trends and tendencies, but maintain a distinct focus on the Danish as well as the international design heritage.

We travel the world in search of outstanding homes with history, personality, and style. We have interviews with prominent designers - established as well as up-and-coming - and carry portraits of true icons and agenda-setting companies.

RUM works with the best and most celebrated photographers, stylists, and writers to create a unique aesthetic universe. People make an extraordinary effort when contributing to RUM, which makes the magazine the natural choice for advertisers aiming to reach a quality-conscious audience with genuine purchasing power.
