<p>Marie Kondo&apos;s first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, transformed the homes and lives of millions of people around the world. Spark Joy is her in-depth tidying masterclass, a line-illustrated, room-by-room guide to decluttering and organising your home. It covers every room in the house - from the bedroom and kitchen to the bathroom and living room - as well as all the items that occupy their spaces. Charming line drawings explain how to organise your house and apply Marie Kondo&apos;s unique folding method to all your clothes, including shirts, trousers, jackets, skirts, socks and bras. The secret to Marie Kondo&apos;s unique and simple KonMari tidying method is to tidy by category and to focus on what you want to keep, not what you want to get rid of. Ask yourself if something &apos;sparks joy&apos; and suddenly it becomes so much easier to understand if you really need it in your home and your life. Except tidying up is not just about transforming your home: when you surround yourself with things you love, you will find that your whole life begins to change.</p>

<p>If you properly simplify and organize your work life once, you&rsquo;ll never have to do it again. Marie Kondo&apos;s first book, The Life-Changing Magic of Tidying, sparked a new genre of publishing and became an international bestseller. Now, for the first time, you will be guided through the process of tidying up your work life. In Joy at Work, KonMari method pioneer Marie Kondo and organizational psychologist Scott Sonenshein will help you to refocus your mind on what&apos;s important at work, and as their examples show, the results can be truly lifechanging. With advice on how to improve the way you work, the book features advice on problem areas including fundamentals like how to organize your desk, finally get through your emails and find what sparks joy in an open plan office. Like how the key to successful tidying in the home is by tackling clutter in the correct order, Joy at Work adapts the inspirational KonMari Method for the workplace, taking you step-by-step through your professional environment so that you can identify the most joyful way to work for you. Once you&rsquo;ve found order in your work life, you can feel empowered to find confidence, energy and motivation to create the career you want and move on from negative working practices.</p>

What does an object do to us, to a room, to the conversations we are having? What does it say about the community where it was made? In issue 04, we look at the things we surround ourselves with and what they mean to us. We visit the architect Petra Gipp on her island abode, and spend some time at home with brand director Petrus Palmer, who use his family home as a testing ground for new products and furniture. We discuss the concept of home with the renowned artist Miriam Bäckström and the architect Eero Koivisto, of architecture and design practice Claesson Koivisto Rune, shares his favourite objects with us. In his home a bowl is never just bowl, it is a bowl with a story. 'When you cease to see something, it s time to replace it with something else', Koivisto says. Elsewhere in the issue we visit a home resembling a spaceship, and one built to celebrate wood. We highlight some great initiatives and some really good pieces of furniture. 'I ve never fully understood how people can be so attached to new furniture', says design writer Hugo McDonald when asked about what he is drawn to. 'It takes several decades of heavy bottoms to shape a good chair into something irresistibly comfortable. There can be no greater proof of furniture s quality than time.'

Frank Pozsgai is internationally known as an artist of the scroll saw.  His previous books have focused almost entirely on what the scroll saw can do with wood, its most common medium.  Now he takes the art up a notch to introduce scroll sawing in metal.  Joining him is Mark Downing who has been working in metals for many years.  Together they explore this great medium for the scroll saw.  The process is simple, and with a few extra steps, cutting metal is as enjoyable as cutting wood.  And the results are wonderful.  Because metal is pliable, it is possible to give it shape by bending it.  The results include chandeliers and other decorative, but useful decorative accessories for the home.  With heat or chemicals it is possible to give metal very interesting patinas that add color and character.  All is explained in clear, step-by-step instructions, illustrated in color photos.  In addition the author supplies many patterns to get you started and a gallery to inspire you.  For many this will be a new experience with the scroll saw.
