The JWH Edit - August 2016

This fifth volume of The Johnnie Walker House Edit captures the contrasting elements and is aptly themed ""Black & White"". It highlights the fact that opposing attributes are an important part of our lives because they provide a balanced outlook. The articles are curated to reflect societal values, trends and progressive viewpoints that are thought-provoking, yet relatable.

The essay on good vs evil reflects on the choices we make, and how it's important to take into consideration both good and evil to gain a better perspective. An article on the restoration of white Bauhaus buildings in Tel Aviv is metaphorically indicative of the philosophy that we do have to scratch the surface to see what lies beneath. Similarly, the significance of the colour black in explored in the feature that explains why so many creatives and geniuses are drawn to the non-colour. Other articles such as the printing press story that stresses the power of ink via the printed word, and the feature on Norway's 24-hour nights in winter and and 24-hour days in summer, are real eye-openers.

Find all this and more intriguing reads in this volume of The Johnnie Walker House Edit. In addition, discover interesting facts about white foods like tofu, and appreciate the fine art of black and white photos taken by award-winning Indonesian photographer Hengki Koentjoro.
