Disegno is a London-based biannual magazine, a website and a salon programme dedicated to international architecture, design and fashion.
Disegno Daily is updated every day and focuses on current news and debates, alongside feature pieces and interviews. All content is written and filmed exclusively for Disegno and we commission expert writers to share opinions and insights on recent events.
This is the team behind Disegno:
Editor-in-chief and founder
Johanna is a London-based design critic with Swedish roots. She taught at the Royal College of Art and worked at the Design Museum before becoming deputy editor of Icon magazine in 2008. Johanna developed the initial idea of Disegno during her evenings and weekends, but it now consumes most of her waking and sleeping hours.
Online editor
Oli is a recent graduate from the journalism MA at City University London. He joined Disegno when it was just an idea on paper, and returned to take up the post of online editor after completing his studies. Oli also contributes to Disegno's biannual print edition.
Creative director
Daren gave Disegno its distinctive look and continues to oversee all aspects of its aesthetic. Daren has previously worked on publications like 10, Wallpaper, Dazed Magazine and Tate Etc. Away from magazines, he runs See Gallery and is an admirer of mid-century design.
Design director
Responsible for the design of Disegno Daily, Colin also works on Disegno's print edition. In his life away from the magazine, Colin is the co-founder of art book publisher Plumplum Books and the owner of two wonderful cats - Bags and Milo - who have been known to holiday in Disegno's office.
Editorial assistant
Kristina works mainly with Disegno's biannual print magazine, but also writes the occasional Opinion or Lesson piece for the website. When not working with Disegno, Kristina is writing a PhD on the Danish postwar artist and thinker Asger Jorn at the Courtauld Institute of Art.
Salon coordinator
A founding member of the Disegno team, Manijeh has proven invaluable in helping to develop the tone and content of Disegno Daily. As well as organising all of Disegno's salon events, Manijeh works for the Architectural Association, from which she graduated in summer 2012.
Web developer
A Finn who flits between Barcelona, Stockholm and Berlin, Jere built Disegno Daily from scratch. Without Jere, Disegno Daily would still be a sketch on paper. When not creating websites for the likes of Hel Yes! and Frederike Helwig, Jere captures situations and people with his collection of old cameras.
