Where would we be without rope and knots? Issue Nº 3 of design & crafts magazine MacGuffin(Amsterdam) explores the fascinating life of the object that binds together pieces of furniture, K2 climbers, redneck cars, Japanese eggs, and Mars rovers, inspiring a community of flax spinners, biennale curators, bondage lovers, and sailing enthusiasts: Rope. Connoisseurs from designers Bertjan Pot and Brynjar Sigurðarson to writer Arnon Grunberg, and artist Françoise Grossen shed their light on something so interwoven with our lives that it deserves a magazine of its own.
