In the upcoming July 1st issue of AXIS magazine, we will be conducting a major editorial overhaul.

We will be reviving the cover interview series with designers, which ran continuously from Etore Sottsass (Issue 70,1997) to Gen Terao (Issue 186, 2017). The featured designer for this renewal in July 1st will be Haruka Misawa.

In Feature 1 “A Map for the Future of Design and 30 Keywords" ,we asked nine leaders in the design field to provide key words for the future of design:

Takuya Tagawa 

Kazufumi Nagai

Kenya Hara

Satoshi Yoshiizumi 

Ikko Yokoyama 

Jasper Morrison 

Julia Cassim

 (In Japanese phonetic order)

In Feature 2, we comprehensively reviewed the 70-year history of Italian design. Having produced numerous outstanding designers and architects now referred to as "masters," where is Italian design heading? We will delve into Italy's perspective, from its postwar heyday to developments as recent as 2020s.
