 Modern Design December 7, 2005

"Creativity is like life insurance. If you are creative, you are never afraid, because you can design yourself out of any situation." ~Li Edelkoort
If you are interested in items like the Nissan Actic Concept Car (that has a matching trailer) or you want to discover new modern options for your bathroom, kitchen or garden, this magazine delivers.
DWELL has a variety of articles to interest the casual decorator or the seriously focused chef. For example, the April/May 2004 issue had articles on:
Home Cooking - a contractor and his three sons design a home with the kitchen at the heart of the home.
Cutting It Up - A downtown Los Angeles loft gets a makeover.
Stainless Chef - Designer John Picard finds a sanctuary with a high-tech steam oven and a hand-carved tub.
Victorian Revival - A San Franscico couple is the inspiration for a dramatic culinary renovations.
Trend Diva - Jane Szita talks about nesting and nihilism.
Other interesting articles include information on houses that become art, short reviews for books on subjects such as living in a small space.
I was intrigued by the house designed with mostly windows on page 45 and high tech enthusiasts will also love features for speakers or CD changers which are most modern.
Well, until I can afford a 9,500 buck oven, I'll keep reading and dreaming. The library in the April/May issue is to die for! Big windows and shelves galore.
Dwell is a magazine designed to inspire and inspire it did! Even some of the text is in color. The Marketplace section gives you a wealth of sources to encourage you to start on your own dream design, house or otherwise. The sourcing section also provides page by page information on sources.

One of my favorite top five magazines ... and for a reason April 1, 2006

Dwell is a unique (in my opinion) magazine and I like that. Unlike many if not most magazines that revolve around home design, this magazine does so with environmental concerns in mind as well as style. And as someone who appreciates the less is more mantra, I like the fact that the magazine shows off abodes that are small yet spacious. Like in the April 2006 issue where Aloft in the Forest, where an urban yet forest feel loft style home on a compact lot are shown. Using easy and affordable ideas for the interior elements. Yes, the magazine has ads, but to their credit they must screen clients so that what ads are there, fit the style of the magazine. No fluffy dust catching junk.
What a Nice Surprise--Stunning Magazine! June 27, 2006

I picked up a copy of Dwell in my brother's mod condo he owns and thought, oh, not another boring Design magazine. WOW. I was really impressed with both the great pictures and the range of topics in this little gem. From "chairs through the ages" to a complete timeline of modern design (toasters to iPods!) I just couldn't stop saying "ahhhh"! Since this magazine is not available in many places (such as the supermarket), it's well worth a subscription. There are wonderful ideas for small spaces but also for larger homes too. It would make a great gift for a 20 something that is just getting into their first space.
(and hey, having it on your coffee table makes your hipness go up by about 100%~!)
My Favorite Design Magazine June 2, 2007

"Dwell" is my favorite of all the design magazines I read regularly. It is a beautiful magazine with thoughtful and helpful illustrations, great articles, and interesting features. I am especially fond of the coverage of emerging trends in contemporary homes, particularly the coverage of prefab homes, culminating in the sponsorship of the "Dwell Homes," which showcase outstanding contemporary prefabricated housing.
The advertisements are consistently relevant and interesting, and the magazine is good at keeping its edge with articles about relevant home furnishings, appliances, and other items that are frequently overlooked in other design magazines. I love the "Modern Market" section in the back of the magazine, dealing with unique products that are well targeted to the fan of the contemporary aesthetic. My only minor complaint is the occasional political agenda that appears in the articles, but it is relatively infrequent and confined to only a few (of a large number) of the contributors, like Pagan Kennedy. In general, though, the articles stay on topic and the editorial content is relevant and appropriately focused.
I look forward to getting several design magazines every month, but can honestly say that "Dwell" is my favorite of the bunch. I highly recommend it to anyone interested in contemporary architecture or design.

If you like a modern view of architecture and living in general, this is it. The articles are well written and interesting. The ads tend to go for the high end market, but are interesting. Well worth the $.
