Volume 12 marks a bold new chapter for Musotrees — celebrating design and collaboration in all its forms. This issue brings together creative minds from Kuala Lumpur, Salzburg, Mumbai, Manila, Jakarta, Vienna, and beyond, each sharing stories of passion, craftsmanship, and purpose. With refreshed visuals, refined typography, and vivid narratives, The Design Issuecaptures the power of collective creativity, blending art, architecture, and thoughtful living into an anthology that reflects the evolving spirit of Musotrees.
The front cover, photographed by Krish in Chandigarh, captures the architectural essence of the city — a visual nod to its modernist and Brutalist heritage shaped by Le Corbusier’s enduring influence. A past contributor and long-time friend of Musotrees, Krish returns in this issue with his distinctive photographic perspective — one that continues to explore space, structure, and the human connection to design.
