Ciba XYMARA
Dear Xymara Reader

Barely a month after its release, we're pleased as Punch to announce that INMYX™, our companion design magazine, has won a coveted iF Communication Design Award, in the category of Screen Design! We are proud of the design of the magazine - the look and feel, the navigation and the synthesis between content and form - and we hope you're enjoying it too!

This month's major theme is wood and furniture. We've recently visited and reviewed various furniture shows and also featured several designers who work in wood. We see wood and working with wood in new and exciting ways as a major trend for the next year and Ciba is also releasing a new range of wood stylings to follow suit. Look out for more from us on the subject of wood and effects for wood over the coming months!

We hope you enjoy exploring our world of effects!
