A journey through sensory-driven design
This book marks the first collaboration between Nathan Williams of Kinfolk and Jonas Bjerre-Poulsen of Norm Architects, inviting readers into more than 25 inspiring spaces where interior design transcends aesthetics to engage all the human senses. From contemporary masterpieces by Ilse Crawford and Bijoy Jain to timeless works by Arne Jacobsen, the book explores homes, hotels, museums and retail spaces that harness light, nature, materiality, colour and community to create deeply immersive experiences.
Featuring stunning photography and insightful interviews with design luminaries such as John Pawson and David Thulstrup, The Touch also delves into philosophical and art history references that reflect design and colour theory. An appendix provides deeper context by profiling visionary architects like Lina Bo Bardi and Richard Neutra, along with a curated selection of heritage design pieces that have influenced this sensory-driven movement. gestalten.com
