Where would we be without rope and knots? This third issue of design and crafts magazine MacGuffin explores the fascinating life of the object that binds together pieces of furniture, K2 climbers, redneck cars, Japanese eggs, and Mars rovers, inspiring a community of flax spinners, biennale curators, bondage lovers, and sailing enthusiasts: Rope.

Connoisseurs from designers Bertjan Pot and Brynjar Sigurðarson to writer Arnon Grunberg, and artist Françoise Grossen shed their light on something so interwoven with our lives that it deserves a magazine of its own.
