Welcome to our August issue, a continuation of our ongoing dialogue in how to design for a better world. What is often considered good design doesn’t always follow Dieter Rams’ commandments. But wouldn’t the world be better if it always just did?

Following the launch of Wallpaper* Re-Made in August 2020, we provide an update on the first generation of Re-Made projects currently in development. The inspiration for Re-Made is to bring together forward-thinking designers, makers, architects and engineers, as a catalyst for innovative and environmentally conscious work of the highest calibre. Our first five featured projects are Asif Khan’s biocement shelving unit, Jenkins & Uhnger’s travelling blade sharpener, PriestmanGoode’s zero-waste takeaway food packaging, Vollebak’s e-waste watch and the Konstantin Grcic electric trailer and trike – all absolutely groundbreaking.

Elsewhere in the issue, we visit landscape designer extraordinaire Piet Oudolf’s latest creation for Vitra, an immersive garden for all seasons in Weil am Rhein. We also feature the latest developments in sustainable architecture across Brussels, Ho Chi Minh City and Medellin, and journey to the Norwegian forest with BIG and Vestre to witness the construction of what they promise will be the world’s most sustainable furniture factory. In Paris, we discover LVMH’s pioneering digital platform to give a new life to deadstock fabrics, which improves efficiency, reduces waste and provides a resource for major and independent brands alike; while in Amsterdam, we find out how textile manufacturer Byborre is transforming its supply chain to create a new sourcing ecosystem. We also review the latest mushroom-derived leather alternatives and a collection of tiles made from eggshell, both excellent examples of a desirable, more sustainable material economy.

For our ‘Thinkers’ section, we celebrate ten creative leaders whose work addresses some of the biggest challenges and concerns of our time. From the Turner Prize-nominated Cooking Sections, whose research on salmon farming has sparked broader discussion of more sustainable food supply chains, to architect Fernanda Canales, whose social housing designs encourage us to reconsider the meaning of luxury; from artist Jakob Kudsk Steensen, who creates epic VR experiences to foster engagement with nature, to the newly minted Diversity in Design collaborative, which is working to level the playing field for aspiring and emerging Black designers in the US. Individually and collectively, these visionaries demonstrate the importance of art, design and architecture in leading the conversation and proposing solutions to issues of ecology and equity.

And finally, a special thank you to Tom Hingston, who, fresh from designing new visual identities for Serpentine Galleries and the ‘Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser’ exhibition at the V&A, has created our newsstand cover. Embracing the themes of the issue, Tom has created a typeface that is more of an ongoing idea than a finished font. ‘Each letter consists of modular elements which move around a fixed grid, to which we then add or subtract. So, in that sense, it remains open and incomplete.’ We discussed this idea – an open framework – interventions – something that is incomplete but resonates and brings optimism.

This issue highlights the groundswell of ideas and creativity that is going on around the world, and I hope you feel inspired to join in the conversation.

Summer 2021, and a measure of positivity – yay. here in the middle east, we step outside less cautiously. The stashes of sanitizing hand sprays we drudged around town, hosing down door handles and dinner tables like ghostbusters with proton packs, still number in the hundreds, but they’re at home, not in our handbags. Big gorgeous cities like london, paris, and new york look set to boom, and people are planning their long awaited holidays to mykonos, puglia, and saint tropez.

The question ‘Who Am I?’ Is no longer reserved for the existentialists. It is something we all ask ourselves, time and time again. And perhaps we should. 

We may now find ourselves burdened with the unbelievable breadth of possibilities and potentials in this new world, filled with so many distractions and so few limitations. We are entitled to whatever we want and we can become whoever we want to be. In this issue, we explore what it is to be yourself in an age where you can be everything. What is self fulfillment? How do we relate to others? Do we even want to? How do we find our place in the world? How do we make a better future for our collective world without first coming to the point that we are fulfilled in our own little one? 

From psychoanalysis to tarot readings, face filters to face fillers, this is the Age of Ich and the Drive for the I.

Since 2016, Herdes has become a benchmark in travel and fashion, both for the way we show the content and the form of the publication we offer: A collector’s book, with an exquisite design and finish.

At Herdes we have stayed true to our vision to create a lifestyle guide marked by fashion, places, culture, diversity and the arts. A journey where the images are powerful, revealing the creativity of our team and contributors.

With this tenth issue we want to celebrate the positioning and notoriety of Herdes in the world of independent magazines. A world that shines more than ever, offering publications with a high level of creativity, quality, trend and design.

Azores, an archipelago bordering Europe, lost in the Atlantic and discovered by chance. Chance or destiny? In either case, discovering them was a joy that today defines the character and history of the Azoreans.

Its volcanic geography and the obsessive creations of extravagant gardeners have turned these islands into a giant greenhouse where infinite species of flowers and plants of all kinds grow, brought from the most remote corners of the planet. They call it the European New Zealand, because of its vertiginous cliffs, its exotic vegetation and the love of surfing thanks to the strong winds and exaggerated waves. But nature is not all, its history and its strategic location during the conquests of the Americas, has made the Azores an effervescent place of traditions, culture and in recent years, a place of inspiration for artists.

And it wouldn’t be the HERO Summer Zine without sun-soaked, colour-filled, sea-salt enriched editorials – this year Yann Faucher and Steve Morriss capture the endless chill of summer, Malick Bodi plays football on the beach in Sardinia, Matt Kelly shares an archive of his black and white images of summer journeys, Akila Berjaoui shoots her boyfriend Swann Guerrault on a yacht around Hydra and Trevor Stones shoots surf vibes down under.

Talking with Kevin Abstract, Shawn Mendes covers our Summer 21 issue.

“I still struggle with trying to fit into the shoes of who I believe ‘Shawn Mendes’ should be…at some point along the line, my expectations and my standard of who I should be, the music I should make, and the way I should look, became so high that no matter what I did and no matter how hard I was trying with my music, I couldn’t fit those shoes. If I even struggle to [live up to] what I think I should be, I definitely don’t want to make it harder for the 14-year-old kid in Canada to be who they are.”

At 14-years-old, he taught himself how to play the guitar at home in his native Toronto. By 15, he was on social media app Vine, amassing over half a billion views before its subsequent close quickly chucked him headfirst into the spotlight – blissfully ambitious and unprepared for what fame could throw at him. But unlike other pop stars with a following as big as him, each time he delves into his past, the narrative isn’t the same polished, pre-packaged tale churned out and chewed over by the mouths of many. Mendes undoubtedly radiates in his ability to be honest, repeatedly delving deeper and deeper into the crippling anxieties and struggles he’s faced as one of the biggest pop stars of our generation. Perhaps because underneath it all, Mendes is still just a small-town boy from Canada who willingly gave over his heart to music.

Ahead of eagerly awaited new music and a rumoured global tour, Mendes covers our summer issue delving into everything from crippling self-pressures to unrealistic expectations. In a refreshingly frank and sincere conversation, Mendes opens up to Kevin Abstract on everything from comparison culture to the power of therapy, and how he struggles to live up to the idealistic projection of his own image.
