Field notes
The issue moves between material histories and contemporary makers, with essays on ochre, indigo, interiors, and the collected table. Its profiles include practical production details: BODDO Studio’s pieces are sewn by a co-op of immigrant women in Atlanta, while Tantuvi Studio’s rugs are made with weaving families in Rajasthan. The Almanac collects gifts from featured brands and says listed prices reflect the brands’ prices at the time of writing.
