And we have another rock-solid compilation of contributors, including identity projects from This is Real Art, Lundgren+Lindqvist, Six and Studio Dumbar. We’ve also revisited previous contributors, including Heydays (Edition One) and MadeThought (Edition Three).

Edition Seven contributors include: Heydays, Lars Müller Publishers, Studio Dumbar, Projects of Imagination, Lundgren+Lindqvist, Colophon, Six, The Hungry Workshop, ManvsMachine, This is Real Art, Semi-Permanent, MadeThought and with a conversation between Rob Duncan and Clinton Duncan.
