2023 September

In our 2023 Interiors issue, RECORD showcases a Stockholm concert hall achieving aural perfection, a richly reimagined 1970s-era São Paulo dwelling, and an elegant café-gallery tucked away in a storied London landmark. Following additional international stopovers at a Roman luxury hotel, a Shanghai fashion boutique, and a lively Guadalajara eatery, we return stateside to visit a Manhattan office tower’s midcentury-inspired amenities suite and AIASF’s inviting new headquarters. Also this month: A deep dive into structural bamboo, September’s House of the Month in Seattle, Madrid’s newest museum, a focus on lighting, and the debut of RECORD Forum, a section dedicated to discussion and debate.

Check back throughout the month for additional content.
