Newcity: Design Issue 2019

Newcity's December issue is a showcase for Chicago's designed object scene, and this year the focus widened to feature designed experiences. Rick Valicenti and Anna Mort helped Newcity curate and design the latest issue, including a conversation with Barry Bursak, owner of Chicago's historic design, City, interviews with Tom Vack, Petra Bachmaier and Sean Gallerostore of Luftwerk, Alyx Harch, Ayush Kasliwal and Mike Dreeben of AKMD, Seth Keller, Dee Clements, and a number of Chicago-designed objects and experiences ready for gifting.

The text is set in Jackson Cavanaugh's latest typeface, OKAY. The chair on the cover is Ben Stagl's UNFOLDING CHAIR.
