In this edition
Six studios & one long read.
Each quarter we visit a small set of practices and write the kind of long, slow profiles we wish more publications still made room for. Here is what's open this season.
Tallinn · Estonia
Reet Aus & the upcycled wardrobe
A workshop conversation about industrial off-cuts, ten years of fabric research and the slow politics of post-trash design.
Helsinki · Finland
The long life of the Aalto stool
An archival essay on the seven-decade evolution of Stool 60 — and the four workshops still bending its legs.
Aarhus · Denmark
A library inside an old grain silo
A photo essay on the conversion of a 1939 silo into a community library, by an emerging Aarhus-based studio.
Reykjavík · Iceland
Concrete, lava, and a quiet courtyard
A field note on a small cultural centre quietly redrawing the rules of public architecture outside the capital.
Stockholm · Sweden
The new co-op carpentry
Four small workshops sharing one floor, one client list and a shared apprenticeship programme. We spent a Friday with them.
"The buildings we keep returning to aren't the loudest. They're the ones that let the weather, the light and the people do most of the talking."
NorthEliq is independently owned, printed quarterly and read in 32 countries.
