Playground is a fresh, new bi-annual magazine for imaginative minds. Featuring thought-provoking essays, engaging conversations, and an assortment of ‘creative quickies’, it’s an honest and, at times, opinionated exploration of the creative mind and process. Packed full of smart insights and egoless advice, Playground is a must-read for those working in, or curious about, Europe’s vibrant culture and creative industries. About Issue 2 The second 112-page issue of Playground delves into childhood, memories, and nostalgia, exploring how they shape our thoughts and creations. It’s a beloved topic that many writers, illustrators, and interviewees have opened up about, sharing their musings and recollections. At its core, this issue is also about people finding their playgrounds and elements of play – sometimes needing to slow down, sometimes needing to play more, or to play by different rules. Read essays and conversations that: Explore the many faces of nostalgia. Examine the realm of corporate slang and the power of word-building. Chronicle the journey of growing a floristry and design brand in Copenhagen and rescuing it from bankruptcy. Reveal the ethos behind a rebellious furniture company. Discuss the enigmatic and transportive influence of scent. Or simply indulge in a ‘creative quickie’, where some of our favourite creatives share their past project failures, tips for rediscovering your sense of play, cultural recommendations, curated design objects, and more! Magazine is shipped between 2-3 working days. It takes around 1-2 weeks for Europe delivery and 2-4 weeks for the rest of the world. studioplayground.cc
