Meaning Living – Coffee Table Edition
A Collected Editorial Book on Interior, Rituals & Intentional Living
Published as a narrative-led editorial volume — shaped like a book, written with the cadence of a magazine, and designed to be kept rather than circulated.
Before you explore the full overview of the edition, we’ve outlined a few key points below that we feel are helpful to know.
About the editorial feature
Each special article is developed as a quiet editorial portrait of space, studio, or practice.
The article itself is written by our editorial team and shaped collaboratively through conversation, notes, and existing material you share with us. Contributors are not expected to write a finished text — the process is guided, considered, and respectful of your time and working rhythm.
The focus is not on showcasing a project as a portfolio piece, but on exploring how space is shaped, inhabited, and lived with, and how design choices influence daily life, atmosphere, and wellbeing.
Meaning Living operates independently of traditional advertising-led or high-street press models. The publication is developed as a curated editorial object, intended to live over time rather than function as short-term promotional placement.
About the publication format
This edition is produced as a fine art coffee table edition, not a high-street magazine.
It is printed on significantly heavier paper stock (approximately 1.5× standard magazine weight) and planned as a substantial volume of 160–200+ pages, designed to be kept, revisited, and lived with over time.
Producing a publication of this scale and material quality involves significant editorial, design, and print labour, carried out with the same care and intention that contributors bring to their own practice
About participation
Participation involves a one-time editorial participation fee.
This reflects the professional production of the book and the inclusion of your work within a curated, long-form context. For many participants, participation aligns naturally with broader visibility, awareness, and longer-term opportunities that unfold through the publication.
Meaning Living is a print-first editorial publication dedicated to mindful living, everyday rituals, and the spaces, objects, and practices that shape how we live.
The edition brings together a carefully curated selection of interior studios, designers, and material-led practices, presented through calm imagery and reflective editorial storytelling.
Published as collected editions rather than disposable issues, Meaning Living is designed to be kept, revisited, and returned to over time.
About the Editorial Approach
Features in Meaning Living focus on:
spatial atmosphere and material presence
everyday use rather than staged display
