Unguis Oracle - Tactus #2

2026
Interview Host + Set Dressing
Interviewseries for Unguis Oracle - an independent print magazine founded by manicurist and Editor in Chief Daniel Smedeman. The magazine is inspired by hands, and edition two ‘TACTUS’ explores the theme of touch.

The interview series focuses on the contributors of issue two, each sharing their own interpretation of the theme, their inspiration and ways of working. From photographers to stylists, everyone relates to theme in their own way and find their own means of expression. 

Set design is inspired by the news room, where offline print is at the heart: the smell of fresh ink and the feel of paper coming out of the printer, still a little warm.
