Nook is a magazine about interior architecture published by BNI and AiNB, two organisations who represent interior architects in the Benelux. Each issue has a theme that is examined from different angles in the articles.
In the summer of 2021, Thierry Somers, was appointed editor-in-chief and art director of Nook magazine. With its content, Nook seeks to inspire interior architects and expand their horizons. Some changes in the formula of the magazine were introduced to make Nook more international, visually arresting and treat the readers to more ‘eye candy’. Besides interviews with leading interior architects and designers, Nook features interviews with visual artists, entrepreneurs, scientists, philosophers, video game designers, VR designers and curators.
Each issue has a theme, such as Digital, Transformation, Architectural Drawing, Stairs, Japan, Maximalism, and Transparency. We conducted extensive interviews, including with individuals such as Elizabeth Diller (Diller Scofidio + Renfro), Patrik Schumacher (principal of Zaha Hadid Architects), Kjetil Thorsen (Snohetta), Kengo Kuma, Sou Fujimoto, Claire Wilcox (Senior Curator of Fashion at the V&A Museum), Florian Idenburg (SO – IL), Flores Prats among others.
