PIN UP Magazine

PIN UP Magazine PIN–UP is a Magazine for Architectural Entertainment

PIN–UP captures an architectural spirit, rather than focusing on technical details of design, by featuring interviews with architects, designers, and artists, and presenting work as an informal work in progress – a fun assembly of ideas, stories and conversations, all paired with cutting-edge photography and artwork. Both raw and glossy, the magazine is a nimble mix of genres and themes, finding i

nspiration in the high and the low by casting a refreshingly playful eye on rare architectural gems, amazing interiors, smart design, and that fascinating area where those areas connect with contemporary art.

and Berlin-based architect come from different contexts, but share a long-standing interest in collective living, shared rituals, and thinking about life beyond the single-family unit. With Escobedo’s work on residential projects such as Bergen Brooklyn, Ray Harlem, and Mar Tirreno, and Chermayeff’s ongoing practice of challenging domestic norms through design at every scale the pair are more-than-qualified to rethink the norms of domestic space.

For 𝗣𝗜𝗡–𝗨𝗣 𝟯𝟵, Felix Burrichter sat down with the two architects to discuss their shared views on lifestyle, why privacy might be overrated, and the ideal sofa.

“It’s a masterpiece of (post)modernity. It’s perfection.” — 𝗝𝘂𝘀𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗶𝗮𝗻 𝗞𝗳𝗼𝘂𝗿𝘆

Perched on the shoreline of Water Island, the so-called Top-Hat House returns after a careful restoration led by owner Justinian Kfoury () and artist Marc Hundley. First sketched by architect Roger Ferri in 1979 and completed in 1984, the house has long served as a gathering point for q***r artists and creatives shaping the character of Fire Island since the mid-20th century.

RIP Henrike Naumann (1984–2026)

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of the artist Henrike Naumann, whom we had the privilege of working with for PIN–UP

Through her work, Henrike had a rare ability to make history — East German, German, global — feel tangible through the language of furniture, interiors, and domestic space, exploring how political ideologies and shifting economic systems persist through objects, tastes, and living rooms. Rigorous yet generous, political and with wit, her practice was always deeply human. Spending time with her remains a special memory.

Her loss feels especially cruel as she had just completed preparations for the German Pavilion at this year’s Venice Biennale, which will go ahead as planned — a ‘gemeinschaftswerk’ guided by her vision.

Leaving on Valentine’s Day, one of the most commercialized holidays in the Western calendar, feels like a final, wry gesture entirely aligned with her sense of humor. She will be deeply missed.

“I have never been able to think of architecture as an object. I have always thought of architecture as a platform for life to evolve and exist and be.” — 𝗧𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗮𝗻𝗮 𝗕𝗶𝗹𝗯𝗮𝗼

For more than two decades, has been rethinking what the “Bilbao Effect” in architecture can mean: shifting the focus from icon-making to care. From housing as a constitutional right to kitchens, laundries, gardens, and public living rooms, her work understands domesticity as shared and civic, shaped across scales.

For , Chief Editor sat down with Bilbao to talk about architecture as a primary form of care, the politics of housing, and why a home is never just a house.

“Some of the sofas I designed feel more contemporary now than when I first designed them.” — 𝗠𝗮𝗿𝗶𝗼 𝗕𝗲𝗹𝗹𝗶𝗻𝗶

First released in 1972, Mario Bellini’s 𝙇𝙚 𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙖 has recently returned as 𝙇𝙚 𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙖 𝙓𝙇: a larger, lower, more relaxed iteration of his modular classic for . Inspired by ancient masonry (the name translates to “the walls”), the sofa is built from stacked blocks, treating seating as a form of architecture: solid, yet endlessly rearrangeable.

If the original 𝙇𝙚 𝙈𝙪𝙧𝙖 spoke to the utopian living rooms of the 1970s, its XL counterpart feels calibrated to contemporary domestic life, where comfort, scale, and flexibility matter more than ever.

Between courses, founder Elena Reygadas put the spoon down for a quick conversation about what keeps Rosetta feeling special.
