“DENMARK | fresh issue”

FRESH as in REDESIGN! Papersky, after traveling the world for some eight years has re-designed the magazine. Papersky continues to celebrate the idea originally proposed by the renowned engineer, philosopher and artist Buckminster Fuller. That is, The One – Town World. Fuller's Dymaxion map is on the cover to express this shared vision. Fuller’s map is the only map that doesn’t cut any countries- it shows the world as one, it shows all the world’s oceans as one and does so on a scale more accurately than any other existing map. And if you cut the map and paste it together carefully, you get a miniature globe- amazing! In this issue Papersky flys over to Denmark for possibly the best cycle trip ever. The issue explores Copenhagen and the surrounding areas with seven original bike trips as well as takes an in depth look at the fleeting though still nostalgic, culture of Sento (Japanese public bath) here at home in Japan.
