Time for some hot desking with MacGuffin Nº 8, an issue devoted entirely to our daily cockpit: the desk. MacGuffin pulls open desk drawers and points up desk plants, surveying a succession of clean desks and messy desks, radical desks and resolute desks, makeshift desks and talk show desks, not to mention the fine art of office pranking and presidential doodling. Featuring François Dallegret, Emily King, Kazuhide Takahama, Saint Jerome, Formafantasma, Rosa Rankin-Gee, Jan Švankmajer and many, many more.
MacGuffin is a platform featuring extraordinary stories about the life of ordinary things. In magazines, presentations and collaborations it discusses the numerous and sometimes curious relationships we have with the design that surrounds us. Each edition is based around a single object, exploring the highly familiar or utterly disregarded role it plays in our lives.
