Zara and Wallpaper* have teamed up to present the ultimate travel guide for the armchair traveler and ardent explorer alike: Where To Now. This compilation volume of five off-the-beaten-track adventures in Bruton (UK), Ojai (US), Galicia (Spain), Naoshima (Japan), and Namibia, offers verbal and visual field notes for those who are dreaming of escape, travel, and adventure.
Compiled with a very specific kind of traveler in mind, Where To Now, a 300-page coffee table book, priced at $119, encourages a freewheeling approach to travel, encouraging you to go with the flow and let stuff happen. Happenstance encounters with shops, people, alleyways, street vendors, and off-beat architectural wonders will be so much more enriching than the coach-trip-and-queue hodgepodge of a poorly run museum or oversubscribed landmark.
This book is more a travelog than a forensic tourist guide, with photography by Salva Lopez, Luis Díaz Díaz, Pia Riverola, Den Niwa, Kent Andreasen, and Sophie Green. Essays are authored by Wallpaper* editors Simon Mills and Pei-Ru Keh, with Celeste Chipperfield, Jens H Jensen, and Mazzi Odu.
The measured pace of the imagery suggests a slower pace of life, offering leisurely encounters with shops, hotels, people, alleyways, street vendors, and minor architectural wonders along the way. Where To Now is perfect for someone who will be careful not to leave anything behind as they travel and who will also be sure to let travel make its indelible mark on them.
In addition to the coffee table book, all five destinations are available as individual guides, also available as a boxed set. Notebooks and posters are also available to purchase. If you’re looking for a unique and unforgettable travel experience, consider picking up Zara and Wallpaper*’s Where To Now.
