About
Studio Chicane
An independent journal of motoring, design & culture.
Studio Chicane is written under the Dr. Chicane byline. Motoring is the centre of gravity. Design, photography, craftsmanship, roads, people and considered ownership belong when the connection is real. Expensive ownership is not an entrance requirement.
The journal publishes short Notes, longer researched Features and single-question Explainers, and gathers connected pieces into Dossiers. Sources are listed on each article. Where a piece rests on the author’s own experience, it says so; where it rests on documents, it cites them.
