High-end fur­niture retail­er Mobilia engaged Column to project manage and edit their broad­sheet publi­cation, Mobilia Journal. Released to co­incide with the 10th anniver­sary of Mobilia’s Design Circus, the pub­lication was themed around the event’s special guest, inter­national design identity Patricia Urquiola. We commission­ed leading writers and think­ers in the fields of art, culture and design, exploring Urquiola’s pro­found influ­ence and provid­ing an oppor­tuni­ty to reach a wider audi­ence of design enthusiasts.
