Editorial research and direction for design-led brands.
Magelier Studio works with brands, companies and cultural organisations on research-led editorial projects. We look for the story already present in a collection, object or place, then build the editorial system around it.
Magelier Studio grows out of the editorial practice behind Magelier.
Magelier Studio
What We Do
Editorial Research & Narrative Direction
Research into the history, process, references and decisions behind a collection, object, place or brand, used to identify its strongest editorial direction.
Collection & Launch Editorial Systems
A central editorial narrative developed across launch essays, collection texts, interviews, press material and shorter digital formats.
Interviews & Cultural Profiles
Research-led conversations with designers, founders, artists and collaborators, developed from the work rather than a standard questionnaire.
Ongoing Editorial Direction
Longer-term editorial partnerships for journals, recurring formats and brand publications, from subject selection and research to commissioning and final edit.
Selected Work
What The Medium Forgot
An interview with Noah Becker built around the contradiction between visibility, platforms, audience and cultural value.
Luxury Meets Whimsy
A study across contemporary luxury imagery identifying a shared move towards fantasy, animation and visual specificity.
The Image Arrived First
Paul Valéry and Walter Benjamin used to examine how images now precede physical encounters with art, fashion and objects.
The Room Returns in Pieces
A contemporary furniture collection traced back through Miriam Howitt’s Barbican show flat and the acoustic architecture of the Barbican Hall.
