Dhub library with most of the selected magazines

Is very difficult to make a selection of Printed magazines related in design and especially in product design, furthermore for the difficulties of the printed magazines in front of the blogs, in fact, most of the printed magazines share some of their work in their websites and social media.

Here I made a short selection and I attached the name (country) number of edition, year of creation and website.

I found interesting to see the number of edition cause can give us clues about the legacy of the magazine, there are magazines that born in the last century, I checked this information on September of 2017 for a book I printed with Bombolla Editorial in Catalan.

Abbitare (Italia) Nº568. 1961.
Apartamento (España) Nº19. 2008.
Axis (Japan) Nº183. 1981.
Brutus (Japan ) Nª211 2000.
Domus (Italia) Nº1005. 1928.
Disegno (UK) Nº16 2011.
Dirty Furniture (UK) Issue 6. 2014.
Diseño interior (Spain) Nº284, 1991.
Etapes (França) Nº239.1994.
Experimenta (España) Nº73, 1988.
Form (Sweden) 4/16.1905.
Frame (Holanda) Nº112.1997.
Interni (Italia) Nº9/16 1954.
Intramuros (França) Nº192. 1985.
Inventario (España) Nº12. 2014. .
Modern Design Review (Suissa) Nº2. 2014.
Monocle (USA) Nº107 2007.
Neo2 (España) Nº154. 1994.
On Diseño (España) Nº364 1998.
Open House (España) Nº7 2014.
Ottagono (Italia) Nº. 1966.
Proyecto contract (España) Nº127.
Space magazine (Dinamarca) Nº3. 2014.
Wallpaper (Regne Unit) Nº154 1996.

We can see the oldest magazine is Domus and the newest is Dirty Furniture. We can see also that the magazine with most issues is also Domus and Modern Design Review is a very interesting proposal but just with 2 numbers.

You can find most of this magazines in library shops but also in Libraries, public and private in Barcelona.
I recommend the DHub library that has most of them or read my article of Barcelona Design Libraries
