Dumbo Feather is an iconic Australian magazine. Published quarterly for seven years, and hailed around the world as a design leader, it is a magazine like no other. Our readers are people who want to be told a different story than the one they hear every day. Each quarterly issue features five extended (20 page) profiles of people worth knowing, across enterprise, education, science, sport, politics, fashion and the arts. Whether they’ve touched millions, or just those around them, we take the time to get to know these people, and ask them to tell us their stories.

Lessons from the Village • For the past two years, Lentil Purbrick has been living with her half-Italian husband Matt in a small village in Italy, driven by the desire to learn more about communal living in a place that thrives on human touch. Inspired by her experiences, Lentil has written a series of observational pieces on village life, as well as accompanying poetry, photos and recipes. She asked herself, what does it truly mean to live communally? How can we learn to live more deeply in togetherness?
