Kinfolk 54

這一期的《Kinfolk》雜誌正好在假期季節發行，回歸我們作為小型聚會指南的初衷，並慶祝團聚——無論是圍坐餐桌、參加婚禮、共飲雞尾酒，還是在節日時刻——這些都是具有深遠意義的活動。

當然，對主辦人來說，「團聚的藝術」有時可能較為複雜。為了讓籌劃過程更輕鬆，我們請來創意廚師、花藝師與藝術家，分享他們專業的點子、技巧與建議，精心打造一個長達 64 頁的靈感專輯，為你的下一場聚會提供豐富的參考。從週六夜晚的簡易新飲品食譜，到如何佈置一場簡約又省錢的婚禮，各種場合的點子應有盡有。

此外，本期雜誌還介紹了超流行音樂製作人 A.G. Cook，他主張即使是廣播中最常聽到的歌曲，也可能是創意探索的結晶。在多倫多，我們與主廚、餐廳經營者與演員 Matty Matheson 對談，分享他的經驗與洞察。我們還拜訪了一位壁畫藝術家，探討千禧世代是否「毀了婚禮」；參觀一座經過修復的羅馬別墅；並與策展人、嬰兒名字顧問、喜劇演員等人交流。

自 2011 年以來，《Kinfolk》已在藝術與文化、設計與美學、建築以及居家空間領域中奠定領導地位。我們的季刊生活風格雜誌目前在 100 多個國家銷售，提供三種語言版本，是理想的咖啡桌雜誌，也適合送給具創造力的朋友。雜誌內容涵蓋激發靈感的攝影、時尚風格與慢生活思維探索，《Kinfolk》致力於提升生活品質，連結廣大的創意思想者社群。

This issue of Kinfolk, which publishes just in time for the holiday season, draws on our origins as a guide for small gatherings and celebrates coming together--whether round a table, at a wedding, for cocktails or during the holidays--as a meaningful pursuit. Of course, the art of togetherness can be a little more complicated for those hosting. To make the process easier, we've approached creative cooks, florists and artists for their expert ideas, tips and advice, creating a 64-page section full of inspiration for your next party. You'll find ideas for every occasion, from simple recipes for new drinks to serve on a Saturday night to advice on decorating a low-key (and low-cost) wedding. Elsewhere in the issue, we meet A.G. Cook, the hyperpop music producer who makes a case that even the most overplayed tunes on the radio can be feats of intense creative exploration. In Toronto, Matty Matheson shares insights from his experience as a chef, restauranteur and actor. Plus, we meet a muralist, ask whether millennials have ruined weddings, tour a restored Roman villa, and check in with a curator, a baby name consultant, a comedian and more. Since 2011 Kinfolk has established itself as a leader in art and culture, design and aesthetics, architecture, and homes and interiors. Our quarterly lifestyle magazine is sold in over 100 countries, published in three languages and makes the perfect coffee table magazine or gift for a creative. Featuring inspiring photography, fashion and style, as well as examinations of slow living, Kinfolk is an art and design publication that seeks to promote quality of life and connect a community of creative thinkers.
