Kinfolk Volume 49

In Issue Forty-Nine, we set out to explore Scandinavia - but not as an exoticized lifestyle paragon. Instead, we feature a cast of cultural leaders who draw their creative strength from the darker side of the region. We meet pop sensation Tove Lo, who writes searingly honest songs about life''s ugly truths. We speak with famed Swedish painter Karin Mamma Andersson about why she''s drawn to darkness in art. And we catch provocative filmmaker Ruben O stlund (Triangle of Sadness) after he''s presided over the jury at the Cannes Film Festival. Since 2011 Kinfolk has established itself as a leader in art and culture, design and aesthetics, architecture, and homes and interiors. Our quarterly lifestyle magazine is sold in over 100 countries, published in three languages and makes the perfect coffee table magazine or gift for a creative. Featuring inspiring photography, fashion and style, as well as examinations of slow living, Kinfolk is an art and design publication that seeks to promote quality of life and connect a community of creative thinkers.
