We have many favorites, for different reasons. Here are the others:

Interior Design
The MoCo trade magazine for interior designers. If you're in the interior design business, and do modern or contemporary, you probably subscribe to this mag. It’s somewhat technical, with a focus on new materials, materials technology, and lots of profiles of the elements of design; wall coverings, floorcoverings, accessories, etc. Each issue features a good balance of residential and commercial (“contract”) projects from around the world. It’s all the hottest stuff, with no “hip” pretense. They don’t need to, it’s a trade mag. Not the place for affordable prefab, it’s more like carte blanche.

Metropolitan Home
The first consumer MoCo mag (it’s 24 years old), and the only one with no website(!). MetHome pioneered "the peoples'" modern design mag genre, with its focus on reader interaction, ie., MyHome, Dr. Swatch, and the annual reader design awards. It’s now a little more upscale than when it first began, edging ever closer to Elle Decor, but still the source for the best before and after renos.

Wallpaper*
The bleeding edge. The resource for the latest trends in design; all types of industrial design, architecture, fashion, even beauty products. If it is design, lifestyle or travel of the moment, it’s probably in Wallpaper. To whit, this month there’s an article on the new Camper empire hotel, Casa Camper (See "Creators of Foodball").

Surface
The other bleeding edge, with more industrial design cred. And, in addition to WP*'s design, lifestyle, & travel, Surface adds graphics, film and music.

Objekt
A design magazine published in the Netherlands, similar to FRAME, but with a difference. You’ll find MoCo design and architecture, alongside modern art, gardens, antiques and museums. Of all the magazines that purport to be about the next thing, Objekt is usually already exploring the sources of the wave after the next thing (I know, mixed metaphor). And, unlike its peers on this list, it’s published only three times a year.

And there are other design magazines we like; Metropolis, I.D., Architectural Record, Casa Brutus, GA Houses, AXIS, HAUSER, Abitare, Interni, 34, Pol Oxygen,... just not enough time to write about them all.
