The Grand Tourist – Issue 03

Coffee Table Mags pick For design and travel readers — Dries Van Noten, Formafantasma, Poliform and exceptional interiors come together in an ambitious journey through contemporary design, travel and the art of living well. The Grand Tourist is a biannual American publication exploring design, architecture, art, travel, food and style through original photography and long-form storytelling. Issue 03 is the magazine’s most ambitious edition so far, bringing together leading names from design, fashion, interiors and travel. Four different covers feature Dries Van Noten in Venice, a piece from Poliform’s 2026 collection, an elegant Roman apartment and Italian design duo Formafantasma. The issue reflects The Grand Tourist’s wide-ranging approach to contemporary culture, moving between influential designers, remarkable interiors, craftsmanship and destinations. Rather than separating travel from design, the magazine looks at how architecture, objects, food and creative people shape the experience of a place. Printed as a substantial linen-bound hardcover volume, Issue 03 continues the magazine’s idea of the “grand tour” as a journey through the people and places defining a well-lived life today.
