The Touch Book

The Touch is a collaboration between Nathan Williams from Kinfolk and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen from Norm Architects. The book invites readers to explore over 25 inspiring spaces where interior design engages all the senses.

Beautiful homes, hotels, museums, and shops are showcased here. From contemporary designers like Ilse Crawford and Bijoy Jain to classic works by Arne Jacobsen. Readers can delve into how elements such as light, nature, materiality, colour, and community can provide a richer experience and reconnect us with our senses.

The book features stunning photographs and interviews with contemporary designers such as John Pawson and David Thulstrup. It also delves into philosophical and art historical references about design and colour theory. For a deeper understanding, there is an appendix with profiles of architects like Lina Bo Bardi and Richard Neutra. Heritage design objects that have influenced this movement are also listed in the book.
