This issue of The Rake is a bit like that poem by Mowbray Morris, which said “It lightens the years that are now, sometimes to think of the years ago.” A hodgepodge of how the past inspires the present. From taking a look back at Michael Keaton’s career to the nowadays impossible derring-do of the land-speed-record hunters, watches of old, designers of legacy and people who have dedicated their lives to improve the human condition, or at least lifted our spirits. Welcome to The Design Issue!
