Meaning Living is developed as a substantial printed coffee table publication, conceived, edited, financed, and distributed by us.
The publication is created as a long-form editorial object — written, designed, and produced to be kept, revisited, and lived with over time.
Editorial inclusion is selective and by invitation.
In Brief
The invitation is for a fully editorial 3–5 page feature within the printed coffee table edition.
Participation is structured via a one-time editorial participation fee.
During the launch phase, this fee is intentionally subsidised as a supportive framework for first-time inclusion.
The publication circulates actively over time, and participating studios will experience increased visibility, enquiries, orders and commercial interest as a result of this long-form editorial presence.
Meaning is an independent publisher producing printed coffee table publications and books on interiors, craft, and intentional living.
Editorial Context
Meaning Living is not a catalogue, directory, or product listing.
It does not function as a passive showcase or brand compilation.
the edition is shaped as a coherent editorial narrative, where individual features are commissioned and edited as part of a wider cultural and spatial context defined by the publication.
The publication circulates actively over time and is designed to generate sustained attention, enquiries, and concrete interest. Participating studios and brands should be professionally structured and commercially active, and prepared to respond to visibility — including press enquiries, client requests, and potential orders — as they arise.
Meaning Living works best for studios and brands who:
value editorial depth and long-form context
operate professionally and sell their work
understand editorial inclusion as a business-relevant visibility channel
The Edition & Participation
Meaning Living – Coffee Table Edition
A print-first editorial publication on interiors, craft, and intentional living.
About the editorial feature
Each featured studio or brand is presented through a dedicated editorial article in the printed publication.
All articles are written and edited by the Meaning Living editorial team.
Features are developed based on structured editorial questions and material provided by the participant. Participants are not expected to write copy and are not involved in editorial production or publishing decisions.
The focus of each article is on practice, philosophy, and context — not promotion, product placement, or press-style coverage.
Each feature spans 3–5 pages, combining original long-form text, curated imagery, and considered editorial design.
The Publication
Meaning Living is produced as a fine-art coffee table publication, not a standard magazine.

The book is distributed gradually over the course of the year through curated channels, including selected bookstores, studios, cultural spaces, and private networks.
