■ "WERK NO. 21" Theseus Chan, Martine Bedin, and more

"WERK" is a visual magazine created by Singaporean art director and designer Theseus Chan, who recently made a name for himself for his first solo exhibition in Japan and the fine book "Louis Vuitton - Yayoi Kusama," which commemorated the collaboration between Louis Vuitton and Yayoi Kusama. This 21st issue features Martine Bedin, a key member of the Memphis design collective. Every page is filled with Boudin's drawings and sketches. The six-layered edges are also decorated with cutouts that trace the outlines of objects she created, creating a visually appealing binding. Theseus's intuition, which captures the essence of Memphis design style, is combined with Boudin's intellect to create a magazine that is almost like her own work.
