RUM International Edition Issue 18 – Hands On

by Rum

€28.90

Welcome to a fresh edition of RUM International, where we explore the essence of craftsmanship.

This issue, themed around the irreplaceable art of craftspeople, is a celebration of the timeless, an ode to those who shape materials with their hands, bringing objects of profound beauty and utility to life. It’s a testament to our love for hands-on creativity, skill and dedication. This dedication is what unites the creatives featured in this issue, from woodworkers to ceramicists, glassblowers and textile artists.

Gracing the cover is the home of one such craftsperson, the Danish weaver Trine Ellitsgaard, who lives in Oaxaca, Mexico. She beautifully weaves two cultures – her Danish roots with Mexican materials and traditions – into her art. Ellitsgaard’s story, like many others in this issue, illustrates the profound connection craftspeople have with their work, bridging cultures and history through their art.

Join us, as we step inside her amazing home as well as the homes of other inspiring creatives throughout this issue, from the colourful, eclectic villa North of Copenhagen to the light-filled classic 19th century apartment in Lisbon imbued with Parisian sophistication.


RUM is a brand and a point of reference in its own right. We are the leading authority when it comes to style, design, and architecture.

We are rooted in the Scandinavian way of life, but have a truly international scope. We are first with new trends and tendencies, but maintain a distinct focus on the Danish as well as the international design heritage.

We travel the world in search of outstanding homes with history, personality, and style. We have interviews with prominent designers - established as well as up-and-coming - and carry portraits of true icons and agenda-setting companies.

RUM works with the best and most celebrated photographers, stylists, and writers to create a unique aesthetic universe. People make an extraordinary effort when contributing to RUM, which makes the magazine the natural choice for advertisers aiming to reach a quality-conscious audience with genuine purchasing power.
