Obscura has recently released its 2011 winter issue. Tries to bring out the same message in every issue, we are hoping to share the things we believed should be valued. With ‘Travel With Time’ as the main theme, the cover story introducing different antique machineries including cars that from the 20th century and rare watches with special stories behind, we hope to bring out its historical stories and its manifest beauty in shape, let our readers feel them in a different way, together will find inspiration in our presentation.
We’ve also brought our readers to the Hong Kong Space Museum that was built thirty years ago. The locals in our generation share great memories with this place, we bring you back to the museum and introduce the facilities and the exhibits. In addition, we have also reported the Hong Kong test driving event held by Aston Martin, that founded last century has recently developed a small city car Cygnet. We’ve also interviewed an outstanding designer, Michael Leavitt from United States, who most widely known for handmade action figures of artists and politicians, and Angela Hill from IDEA Books that had been invited to work with Dover Street Market recently.
And finally, the gift for this issue is a woollen iPad case. The thick and soft material protects the iPad from damage. The claret color fully fit in with the festive season and brings out a sense of retro aesthetic at the same time. Obscura is now available at bookstores, and have also made it to the China market, our readers from China can now find Obscura available at the PageOne store in China’s capital city — Beijing.
