Acne Paper, the design and culture magazine from Acne Studios, has continued to raise the bar on what a brand publication can be since relaunching in 2021. It’s back with its 18th edition, “House of Acne Paper,” a beautifully-themed tour through an imaginary house filled with some of the time’s most unique creations. Inspired by both the New York ballroom scene and the opera houses of the world, theater, and performance are jam-packed under Acne Paper’s roof.

With nine rooms and a garden, the house has a lot of space to fill. And just as you might expect from a house designed by Acne Studios, it’s packed full of stuff—with 151 objects to be exact—ranging from tables by Faye Toogood and Rick Owens, to paintings by Jacques-Émile Blanche and Chris Ofili, to cutlery by Salvador Dali, to even an 18k gold toilet by Maurizio Cattelan.

The 504-page and auction-catalog-esque magazine is finished off with ten conversations, one for each room and the garden, with outstanding figures in the worlds of design, architecture, literature, performance, and more.

The layout feels somewhat like a house party, where each space you walk into leads to a new conversation—you will find scent artist Sissel Tolaas talking with Jad Salfiti in the bathroom, author and artist Yasmine Seale talking with Natasha Fraser in the attic, and cake artist Amy Yip talking with Tilly Macalister-Smith in the kitchen, just to name a few.

Created by Argentine artist Pablo Bronstein, the house itself is both the front and back cover. An Art Deco villa, embellished with a blue celestial temple above the door and joined with two Pierrot figures on either side of the front, combines elegance and extravagance with a hint of mystery as the windows and doorway are all blacked out.

Around the back of the house are two people talking, Pierrot and Lady Columbine, next to an elaborate doorway. The rest of the wall features only one big window, which shows the legs of somebody having fun, possibly the lady of the manor.

Acne Paper began in 2005 and lasted until 2014, during which the biannual magazine explored a slew of genres and topics aside from fashion, from meditation to LGBTQIA+ culture. After the release of an archival collection of some of the magazine’s best pieces, Acne Paper Book, in 2021, Acne Paper was relaunched in a new format—now around 500 pages each—while keeping its focus on examining the farthest reaches of art and culture.

House of Acne Paper launches June 8th and can be found at acnepaper.com.
