Ark Journal explores the spaces around us, the objects we put in them and the people who make them. Bridging architecture, design and art, they show them as interplay rather than in silos, and with a sense of enduring Scandinavian values and aesthetics. Ark Journal celebrates good ideas, honest and inventive design and materials that encourage critical debate.

By placing architecture at the core of Ark Journal, they consider it in the broader context of our lives, reflecting it's more humanistic side and celebrating tactility and individual dimensions.
