Wallpaper* magazine marks its 30th anniversary with the release of its October 2026 issue (No. 330), which has been guest-edited by Es Devlin, Carrie Mae Weems, and Palace Skateboards. This 356-page edition, set to hit shelves on September 3, showcases three distinct covers: Devlin's '30-Year Desk' installation, Weems' 'Memory' sculpture located at the Liberty Memorial in Kansas City, and Palace Skateboards' Tri-Ferg logo designed by Ben Drury. The issue offers a glimpse into the new Zaha Hadid Foundation headquarters, broadens its Architects' Directory to include over 500 firms, and highlights a Japanese tea atelier, audio installations, and a celebration of the Rolex Oyster watch's centenary. Thirty creative collaborators, such as Patricia Urquiola, contributed cake-themed artworks, while Editor Bill Prince stresses a commitment to the present and future.
