These new photographs of the latest issue of Wrap magazine are too beautiful not to share. For those who haven’t heard of it before, Wrap is a large format design and illustration publication, not to mention the design magazine of the moment.

Based in the UK, co founders Chris Harrison and Polly Glass describe Wrap as a design magazine with a double purpose. The large format pages are printed with interviews and features on one side, and exquisite prints by independent artists on the other. Once read, the pages that can be pulled out and reused as wrapping paper - providing exposure for the artists and prolonging the life of the magazine.

This year saw the launch of a smaller, compact version of the magazine as well as an exclusive range of wrapping papers designed by some of Wrap’s favourite independent designers. These guys are ones to watch!
