Asun Homes Vol 8 introduces a selection of unique Finnish homes and recent trends in Scandinavian design and home decor. You get a chance to peek into smaller and larger homes, rural and urban environments as well as minimalist and maximalist interiors, all of which tell fascinating stories about the lives of their residents.
Blending together the best of both magazines and books, Asun Homes is a 184-page bookazine full of ideas and inspiration for anyone with an eye for Nordic home decor. Published once per year, Asun Homes follows the style of the Finnish interior design magazine Asun.
