Life on the fringe - Ibiza's bohemian bolthole.

Ibiza’s multifaceted architectural identity tells a tale of colliding cultures, creative co-existence and the constructions of distinctly varied ways of life. One of the first contemporary architects to be inspired by the island's traditional vernacular was the German emigré Erwin Broner (1898-1972), whose own Sa Penya Modernist masterpiece is now a fascinating museum. 

The first print cover in a series of three for L’OFFICIEL IBIZA’s second issue is the artwork LUNA LLENA, an homage to the work of the seminal French artist Yves Uro. Uro came to define the image of nightlife in Ibiza during the heady days of the 1970s and ‘80s, when his avant garde club poster designs for the likes of Ku, Glory’s and Pacha became a calling card for Ibiza’s hedonistic party scene. 

Catherine Uro's exclusive letter to her brother introduces this remarkable issue.

Welcome to the second print issue of L’OFFICIEL IBIZA, in which we explore themes of identity and evolution on an island which - for thousands of years - has been the mother of all reinvention. As Ibiza once more recasts itself in a new light, editor at large Maya Boyd uncovers a shapeshifting Mediterranean bolthole in constant flux.
