MacGuffin

ABOUT MACGUFFIN

MacGuffin is a platform featuring extraordinary stories about the life of ordinary things. In magazines, presentations and collaborations it discusses the numerous and sometimes curious relationships we have with the design that surrounds us. Each edition is based around a single object, exploring the highly familiar or utterly disregarded role it plays in our lives.
