Muse Second Issue - 2006
In the second edition of Muse we cast aside the time when ‘less is more’ and minimalism was the philosophy of creativity in all industry sectors from interiors, fashion and food. Enter the era of ‘Showtime’ or more appropriately ‘Showhome’ with more than a notion of Burlesque design influence infusing everything.
Advertising, club interiors, fashion shows, new release films are all full of references to the circus, vaudeville, cabaret and even striptease enveloping and inspiring a new decadence that takes in the voluptuous, the over-the-top, the rich, the sensual and the erotic.
Muse Third Issue - 2007
In the third edition of Muse, colour trends for 2007 are moving to politics, religion, ecology and even biology. Architecture and interior design continues its dialogue with fashion and art and is increasingly becoming one of the most exciting forms of contemporary culture and expression.

However in some cases supersized is still more satisfying!
