designboom

founded in 1999, designboom is the world's first and most popular digital architecture and design magazine. media is still the connective tissue of society, and compared to 1999, the internet has come a long way. during this time, creating a digital publication was still primarily the business of tech-savvy nerds but online publishing has gone from something abstract to being a central element in how many of us live and work. today, when people are searching for something, they’ll look it up online.

designboom aims to bring together professional and young creatives from a diverse range of backgrounds. by publishing the latest news and key issues in the fields of architecture, design, technology and art, our mission over the past 13 years has remained the same: unearthing the best projects and curating a selection of the most interesting aspects of contemporary culture...before you can find it anywhere else.

today designboom is the most comprehensive source with over 33,000 articles worth of useful information and insightful interviews, studio visits, documentation of new products, reviews of exhibitions and books, and historical surveys.


in 2007, TIME magazine chose designboom as one of the TOP 100 design influencers in the world, one of just eight online publications to be so named. in 2013, the webby awards selected designboom as an honorable mention in the category of best cultural blog and in 2014, were nominated for a webby in the category of best lifestyle.

in april 2014, we have launched a chinese edition, and designboom.cn is already one of the most popular online design and architecture magazines in mainland china. the site sees a selection of articles from our established english publication translated into mandarin, supplemented by local content that covers developments in the region’s creative scene, to give it added relevance to its targeted audience. designboom china brings the best of art, architecture, design and technology to the chinese community!
