POPEYE Magazine Issue 923 – Cool Rooms Around the World: Objects, Atmosphere & the City Boy Ideal

For POPEYE’s Issue 923, the focus shifts from fashion to interiors—exploring cool rooms across the globe and the quiet details that make them resonate. These are not spaces defined by price tags or luxury, but by personality, memory, and lived-in charm: a thrifted Asian chair, a plate gifted by a neighbor, Sori Yanagi’s iconic kettle, sea-worn stones, a long-sought Dieter Rams shelf.

The magazine lingers on the small gestures—like a senior using a car cloth to clean the floor—revealing that “cool” emerges from a deep relationship with objects and the rhythms of daily life. This is the city boy’s ideal room: layered with story, shaped by curiosity, and arranged with understated precision.
