From Anna Starmer: In lssue 25 we are exploring the many meanings and nuances of what it is to be 'Light'. Firstly, we think of treading lightly on the Earth, leaving no trace behind and considering the future impact of our actions, as both consumers and designers. We strive to shine a light on creatives and innovators, who are working toward lighter solutions and lighter ways of living.
