DIM DAM DOM - TOME 7

by Ideat Editions

Après ces longs mois confinés, Dim Dam Dom s’offre un voyage sur la côte ouest, une façon de respirer un brin d’air marin au bord de l’eau, les pieds dans le sable.

Cet été, partez à la rencontre des patronnes du bassin d’Arcachon qui ont dévoilé l’art de l’ostréiculture au féminin à Laurène Daycard et à Sarah Arnould, prenez une vague à Biarritz avec Lee-Ann Curren, surfeuse (et musicienne) franco-américaine à l’esprit libre. Arpentez la Bretagne à bord d’une vieille Chrysler décapotable avec François Simon pour y découvrir ses merveilles gastronomiques, goutez aux mets savoureux du chef Alexandre Couillon et sa famille sur l’île de Noirmoutier en compagnie d’Andrea Petrini et de Benjamin Schmuck puis, guidés par la plume de Géneviève Brunet et l’objectif de Timothée Chambovet, plongez-vous dans l’univers de l’autrice féministe Benoîte Groult à Doëlan avant de vous émerveiller en écoutant un air d’opéra au Teatro Arriaga de Bilbao avec Thomas Jean et Alain Cornu.

Comme vous l’aurez remarqué sur les trois couvertures différentes de notre tome d’été, signées par la photographe Maia Flore, la côte ouest regorge de plein de jolis coins et histoires qui méritent bien d’être (re)découverts. Alors nous espérons que ce tome 7 vous apportera votre dose d’iode nécessaire afin d’entrevoir une rentrée sereine. Prêts à partir ?

Transhelvetica #60 «Herzblut»

Es freut uns ungemein, mit «Herzblut» die 60. Ausgabe von Transhelvetica präsentieren zu können. Die Ausgabe markiert unser 10-jähriges Jubiläum und war uns Anlass, einen Blick in die Vergangenheit zu werfen. Für diese Retrospektive haben wir alle Ausgaben wieder in die Hände genommen und die Entwicklung von «Transhelvetica» zum Revue passieren lassen. Dabei kommen die Reisetipps quer durch die ganze Schweiz selbstverständlich nicht zu kurz. Denn vieles hat sich geändert, aber einem sind wir treu geblieben: Was ennet der Grenze passiert, bleibt ennet der Grenze.

Kommen Sie mit uns auf eine Zeitreise durch die Geschichte von Transhelvetica und besuchen Sie Orte und Menschen, die für uns von besonderer Bedeutung sind.

Postcards

A 144 page publication featuring some of the photographs that make our contributors happy. Created in lockdown, it is our ode to travel - and all the beauty and wonder that is out there, just waiting until the world is ready. 

"I’m convinced that to look back like this, while always in part an act of grief, is first and foremost a celebration. The past, humming with the attention we give it, repays us in kind - by reminding us of how far we’ve come. Now, and perhaps for a while yet, this will be our challenge, to take solace in memory."

- Cameron Zeyd Lange
Los Angeles, May 2020

During lockdown in London (having printed Mexico and replotted our issues dedicated to Greece and Wales) I found myself desperate to create. It wasn't about making the lockdown time count, more about finding ways to slow down, look back and seek beauty - and to offer a platform to some of the creatives who have been so generous with their time and talent over the years. And so the team and I began work on Lodestars Anthology Postcards - a 144 page photo book featuring archival work from across the world, paired with musings on life, travel and the wonders of photography.

Issue 10: India

India is changing. It is an impassioned, tumultuous wonderland that embraces visitors, reveres its past, disregards the status quo and offers all who journey there an brilliant, indelible, distinctive experience.

You may wander along sacred waterways, bathe in colour, appreciate the poetry of the everyday, celebrate a southern paradise, traverse the country by train, discover enduring, ancient cultures and cities at the cutting edge, grasp the complexity of tea and tradition, calm the mind, scale peaks, experiment with spices, encounter something wild, question your boundaries, live in the moment and seek out the unexpected. This is a place of craft, civility, history, culture, grace and grandeur. You will be overcome, consumed, saturated, lost in matchless moments, and left craving more.

Summer 2020

We are so happy that summer is finally here and we can inspire you once again with a new edition of Imagicasa magazine. The storm has subsided and has made way for sun, warmth and cheerfulness. We are going to enjoy it with a fresh Corona beer in our hands!

Over the past few months we have continued to work hard on our online platform to offer our readers a moment of relaxation during the challenging period – which we can now hopefully leave behind us – and to let them dream away at beautiful images, surprising stories and unique projects. Our Instagram page now has well over 20,000 followers, a very welcoming confirmation that the work we do is appreciated and that we can continue to do what we enjoy doing. We’ve also added a lot of exclusive decorations and furniture to our webshop, so be sure to take a look if you want to give your own interior a stylish update.

This summer issue has come with some delay, because we wanted to make sure we could offer you another amazing edition. If we can say so ourselves, we very much succeeded in this and we are therefore proud to present to you projects by OOAA Arquitectura, Fabrice Juan, Banda Property, Gori & Yoon and our compatriot Nicolas Schuybroek, among others. As usual, we also went back into design history to introduce to you some of the top designers of the 20th century (Gio Ponti, Joe Colombo, Pierre Paulin) whose iconic creations certainly don’t look out of place in today’s interiors.

Art is also a vital subject in any edition and we hope that the works of André Bogaert, Bram Demunter, Tilde Grynnerup and Pia Maria Raeder will charm you as much as they did us. To get even more into summery atmospheres, we bring you along on a visit to the unique Hotel Lou Pinet in Saint-Tropez, designed by Charles Zana, we present no less than two stylish yachts and we take a look at a beautiful project in Valencia decorated by our partner ‘t Huis van Oordeghem.

Enjoy this special collection of stories and enjoy the summer!

ITALY AND FOOD, IT’S ROMANCE AT ITS FINEST

UNEXPECTED ITALY

Italian food pioneers enchanted us with passion, fed us hope and humility, and said, “Be here now, forget schedules, let life dictate pace.” They showed us their grounded carpe diem spirit—how to live in the moment, slow, steady. In return we pushed our appointments, extended rentals, and rested our heads on hardwood floor, fully present.

ITALIAN VARIETY WITHOUT LIMIT

Italy has found a way forward by reaching into history and pulling out techniques that are tried and true. It’s a path rooted in community and hospitality, closely tied to the land, giving back as much as it takes. A path blazed with Italian bravery. Bravery that speaks plainly, saying “We shall not be tamed by modern problems.”

INSIDE THIS ISSUE OF SALT & WONDER

You’ll explore hidden castles, gardens, and rooftop terraces. You’ll find Italy’s new wave of slow-baking, its modern artisans, its Etruscan history, and the future of food systems. You’ll meet a mad scientist who ferments everything and a woman who bakes family tradition into her bread. You’ll feel the soil with Italy’s first organic rice farmer and raise a glass to fresh drinking styles at rebel-friendly bars. Finally, you’ll discover the magic of Torino, where off-the-map authenticity will make you fall in love.

In this issue, we hear from:

• Two traveling brothers who promote local ingredients with Italian-Asian fusion at their restaurant atop an ancient seaside castle.

• Local Torinese, Lucia Iannone, on baking bread with tradition

• Italy’s first organic rice farmer, the renegade Ariane Lotti of Tenuta San Carlo

• Renaissance bartenders of Milano and Torino who are introducing Italy to international cocktail styles

• The streets, plazas, and people of Torino, in a city guide that will lead you off the beaten path and into the heart of an up-and-coming city

You will find interviews, new perspectives, a city guide, photo essays, recipes to stories, and lots of aspiring illustrations.

Ce printemps, Dim Dam Dom a poussé la porte des écoles maternelles de Buenos Aires, a déambulé dans les dédales des marchés du Caire en Égypte, a goûté la cuisine à base de cannabis à San Francisco, s’est envolé au sud de l’archipel japonais pour se détendre lors d’un bain de sable chaud à Kagoshima, au pied d’un volcan protecteur.

Dans les Pouilles, en Italie, Dim Dam Dom a vécu une dolce vita d’un autre genre, à Essen s’est plongé dans l’histoire de l’Aalto-musiktheater, que l’on doit au génie d’Alvar Aalto. Enfin, à Philadelphie, on a échangé avec la photographe américaine Nadine Rovner, qui signe notre couverture.

"There are places that stay on your mind for years – those you’ve been dreaming of seeing for a long time, or those you’ve been to and can’t wait to revisit. Surrounded by pristine nature and home to welcoming locals, St. Moritz is such a place. This second issue of «St. Moritz» magazine rekindles the spirit that makes this iconic mountain town tick, from the sight of the early-morning sun rising above the mountains to the excitement of unwinding with friends after a wholesome day out.
We immerse ourselves in the region’s natural splendour, go behind the scenes at the Festival da Jazz and Tavolata, talk work and play with Margherita Missoni and let loose in St. Moritz’s buzzing nightlife haunts. Via profiles of the most forward-thinking local entrepreneurs and a visit to the eccentric family abode of Susanne and Matteo Thun, the magazine shines a spotlight on the colourful community celebrating elevated living in the town’s famously down-to-earth style. Enjoy exploring St. Moritz in their company."

Annick Weber
Editor

St. Moritz magazine is a new publication that covers all the news, views and stories from life at the top of the world. From food to fashion, it offers an elevated take on the town’s extraordinary people, culture and lifestyle.

The official publication of St. Moritz takes a fresh look at the refined living, world-class culture, exhilarating sports and pristine natural beauty that can only be found in this mountain metropolis. The launch issue includes a feature on the Snow Polo World Cup St. Moritz; a tour around conceptual artist Rolf Sachs’s sporting Alpine home; a revealing interview with PR maven Karla Otto; all the fashion essentials you need to stay chic and cosy at 1,856 metres above sea level; and much more.

St. Moritz magazine is published by ESTM AG and edited, designed and produced by Winkreative, the global creative agency founded by Monocle editor-in-chief Tyler Brûlé. Inspired by the sense of perspective and clarity of thought afforded by St. Moritz’s lofty position, Winkreative took a unique approach to creating the magazine, with editorial features that convey “Views from the top”, a larger print format, a stacked logotype and art direction that makes the most of the area’s striking light and shadow.

04 / Los Angeles

“Los Angeles can serve as a reminder that real vitality always had to confront a divergent reality. It continues to draw an active counterculture willing to beat its own path against the traffic just like in the past. Progressive runaways in the footsteps of those seeking to free body and mind. People who don’t just want to fit in, but rather find what makes them mindful in a blindly spinning world. Los Angeles continues to be a lab for modern ideas, maybe more so than ever because it has to. Chasing happiness on revolving rubber or in digital illusions does not really work, even in HD. We found some alternative answers right on this city’s tarmac. They won’t solve all our problems but at least they are a step forward and not a dead end. Welcome to Los Angeles.”

Mit dieser Ausgabe von CURVES, einer großartigen Runde in vier Etappen durch Thailand, ändert sich hier etwas zum ersten Mal ganz spürbar. Sie halten die erste asiatische CURVES-Ausgabe in den Händen. Und dieses Asien, Südostasien, Thailand ist so profund anders als jede andere Destination, die uns bisher unter die Räder kam, dass unsere Herkunft plötzlich ins Auge fallen musste – am allermeisten uns selbst. Wir sind fremde Beobachter in einer Welt, deren Botschaften wir nur interpretieren können, deren Rhythmus uns gelegentlich ins Stolpern bringt und die uns genau deshalb so in ihren Bann gezogen hat. Das disruptive Element des Reisens ist auf unserer Tour durch Thailand so stark wie nie zuvor zutage getreten: Alle Vorurteile werden erschüttert, alle Erwartungen in Frage gestellt oder übertroffen. Neues muss erlebt und verkraftet werden, es zwingt sich einem in buntem, herausforderndem und glücklich machendem Rausch regelrecht auf, eine bequeme oder schonende Alternative gibt es nicht.

However, this issue of CURVES, an amazing four-stage tour through Thailand, changes things quite markedly for the first time. What you’re holding in your hands is the first Asian issue of CURVES. And this Asia, southeast Asia, Thailand is so profoundly different from any other destination we’ve covered so far that our origins suddenly became blatantly obvious – most of all, to ourselves. We are foreign observers in a world, the messages of which we can merely interpret, the rhythms of which cause us to stumble and that, for precisely this reason, has drawn us under its spell. The disruptive element of travel emerged on our tour of Thailand more forcefully than ever before. All preconceptions are shattered, all expectations questioned or exceeded. New things have to be experienced and absorbed. This reality forces itself upon you in a colourful, challenging and ecstatic rush. There is no comfortable or soft alternative.

“Running is one of our primal activities besides eating, sleeping, and sex. For survival, humans had to both chase and escape. Runaway started 2018 by exploring the latter. After searching the souls of two of our favorite cities, we felt it was about time to search our own. While the West used to carry the promise of a new age for all seekers of alternatives, Runaway is heading east from Brooklyn—time for a new direction in a changing world. Right across the ocean in Portugal we found a great spot for more than California dreaming. While the sheltered Mediterranean draws people who are ready to retire, Portugal's windswept Atlantic Coast is perfect for those who need space to breathe. It not only produces some of Europe's biggest waves and has helped define a unique country, it’s also a great place to run.”

VOLUME SIX: ENDLESS

The stories in this issue explore the theme of endless; deserted landscapes stretching beyond the limits of our imagination.

Through ‘Endless’ we showcase vast, open deserts, desolate wastelands and roads cutting through dunes into the horizon. With visual stories from places such as the Namib Desert, Death Valley, and the Atacama, our pages glow with that fractured gleam of long, intense sunsets. It is easy to celebrate their effortless beauty, but we also explore the reality of what it means to face something that feels endless, and the negatives that can sit alongside this. Sometimes it is just as important to have an ending in sight, to have something concrete to progress towards. We realise that often, we need a beginning and an end to provide significance and meaning, and that the absence of these can result in deep uncertainty.

• This publication is 144 pages, perfect bound and printed on uncoated, 100% recycled paper.

NORTHLETTERS MAGAZINE throws a light on the Nordic, its stories, nature, culture and soul. NL2 is our female summer edition. It has a focus on the soul and gives space to a selection of female contributors from around the globe to express themselves freely about topics that are meaningful for them. Summer is the time to slow down and to become more aware of ourselves, our bodies, souls and minds, the time to recognize what is doing us harm and what is supporting and inspiring us. Summer is the time for traveling or spending time in the countryside, time and space to discover the possibilities beyond our outer and inner borders. NL2 is telling stories about how to become and stay safe, self-aware, strong and well-balanced. It never was easy to define our own constraints and take care of our souls. It becomes more and more important to support each other. NL2 has invited women with a powerful spirit to tell their stories about defining themselves. We want to inspire our readers to free their minds, to discover their braveness, wishes, dreams and goals and to express them.

In NL2 we meet adventurer Caitlin Fullam who describes the blending of feminine and masculine energy, Nanje Nowack who reflects the art of self acceptance and Kam Vachon who inspires us with the art of being less expectant and more grounded in inner balance. Aurore Morisse tells her touching story of being different and artist Laura Lereveur magically describes the limitations a dictated world is imposing on our mind. We again meet NL1 contributors with very personal stories: Frederique Peckelsen who is looking for places that equal her inside, and Lise Ulrich with her poetic interpretation of female friendship. We read Valerie Schöneich’s inspiring story about soul pain and self growth. We get to know Elisabeth Sofie Hovde who tells about Nordic summer days in her home near the sea. We accompany photographer Christina Strehlow to her peaceful house in Skåne, and photographer Gunn Kristin Monsen to her Norwegian country home, listening to the sound of the lake and a life full of simplicity and calming beauty. Elise Boreham reflects the impact our homes have on our inner well being: „Home is what we make it. The more you build it and nurture it, the more it will care for you.“ And we discover the visual world of female International artists Noémi Ottilia Szabo, Marta Bevacqua, Charlotte Lapalus, Elisa Vendramin and Frieda Mellema who create a sensual and dreamy visual world for NL2. Finally we meet Photographer Thomas Kettner, Co founder of NORTHLETTERS magazine.

We invite you to continue reading with Laura Lereveur’s words:

„I live best – most creatively, thoughtfully, innovatively, emotionally, physically, sincerely, lovingly – in betweens. Between beauty and ugliness, or reality and dreams; between within and without. Between dancing and fighting. I wear scarred boots instead of beautiful slippers, and walk through the rotten and the fragrant. I collect stains and scratches, bruise my knees. I find familiars in the wilds, bathe in puddles, hide in ancient trees, curse at skies, take tea with demons.And that is how I have made my life.“
