Folio Quarterly, 2026

The redesign of a quarterly on craft

A new grid, two typefaces and a rule: the photographs decide the page. The magazine lost its sidebars and gained its readers.

The spread, and the margin notes that replaced the sidebars.

The piece

Folio is a quarterly about craft: furniture, ceramics, bookbinding. The old design was a stack of sidebars and the photographs were squeezed between them.

The redesign has one rule: the photograph decides the page. A new grid with wide margins, two typefaces, notes in the margins where the sidebars were. The first issue sold out its print run; the fourth increased it.
