Begin your week with a moment of discovery. Every Monday, The AGOBAY Weekly brings you a curated glimpse into our world – new experiences, inspiring creations and stories to savour.
It’s week 37 / 2026
This week, we explore refinement as a way of paying attention. Our magazine story, ‘A Refined Life: The Art of Attention’, considers the choices we make, the objects we live with and the rituals we return to. Drawing on ideas from William Morris, Yuriko Saito, Juhani Pallasmaa and Richard Sennett, it reflects on discernment, pleasure and care, and beauty that can emerge through use and time, asking a simple question: what is worth keeping? These ideas find tangible expression in the work of our craft makers. Across Japan, Switzerland and Denmark, their practices are shaped by an intimate knowledge of materials, techniques passed down through generations and a deep connection to place and tradition. Get to know their work and stories on our Craft Makers page.
