Today I am so honored to announce the debut of a brand new design magazine: Anthology! As much as my heart and soul lives online, I have been dying to see someone embrace print again and Anh-Minh Le and Meg Mateo Ilasco have done just that. Anthology is a new quarterly shelter and lifestyle print magazine that takes a narrative approach to its coverage of home décor, travel, design, entertaining, and culture. Meg and Anh-Minh explained that they envision the magazine as, “a collection of stories shared with readers.” I’m so thrilled to see design content in print again and am honored to be among some really amazing artists, shop owners, and home owners in the debut issue. Meg and Anh-Minh have shared a few sneak peeks from the magazine below, as well as their adorable new stop-motion launch video shop by Thayer Allyson Gowdy! Susie Ghahremani’s music provides the perfect accompaniment to the video’s theme of “print is not dead.” You can get a preview of the magazine via the issue previewer below or click here to check out Anthology‘s new site! A big congrats and digital high five to Meg and Anh-Minh for their new magazine and for bringing something beautiful, fun, and young back to print! xo, grace

awesome! and most lovely of all is the Krisatomic illustration – her stuff is just about my favourite stuff to look at.
Fantastic!! I agree, there is something so nice about a real print magazine, with folded bages, bookmarks, clippings… can’t wait to see this one!
I dearly love my blogs – Design*Sponge being my fave – but long live print! Thank you ladies for creating something new. The sneak peek has me desperate for more. Best of luck and much success to you both!
this is just about the cutest thing i’ve EVER seen. LOVE!!! can’t wait to see the first issue!!!

ohhhh this is awesome!!!
it’s going to be a good week.
Very nice!
perfect Monday inspiration. swoon-worthy trailer…oh so lovely!
I just ordered a copy! I can’t wait. It’s not that I don’t love e-mags (better than nothing!) but I love love love printed magazines. I can just toss them into my bag to read anywhere and so I enjoy them so much more (especially since my laptop is so clunky, hard to tote around).
Yea!!! I’m so excited. I’m going to go order it right now!
Exciting- I love opening my mailbox and finding a mag to curl up with!
I am an artist and that painting above the bed is really beautiful. Modern but with an organic quality that I love.
How exciting! I love magazines, this 0ne looks like it’s going to be a good one!
looks like a beautiful publication! can’t wait to check it out : ) thanks for the heads-up.
I too love print. I have recently subscribed to a magazine for online viewing and I hate it. Not the magazine, but reading it on line! Thought I would give it a try, you know get with the digital times, but it just is not the same as touching and staring at an actual page in print. Gonna go get my subscription now.
I miss great magazines! And Rizzoli left SF a while ago… I just popped over to the Anthology site and bought my yearly subscription. Thanks Grace for writing a beautiful post about the magazine. I can’t wait for it to arrive.
you had me at “new design mag,” but this one features AB CHAO (in the photo beneath the map of louisiana)? now i’m twelve kinds of excited. (in a healthy, non-stalkery way, of course.)
I really miss good design magazines and can. not. wait to get my hands on the first issue!!!
Wahoo! There has been a drought in the design magazine world for far too long… So excited for this new mag! Just ordered myself a subscription and can’t wait to receive the first issue!
I was heartbroken when Domino folded, then Cottage Living…the list was long that year of all my favorite home design magazines folding. Hopefully this will assuage my boredom with the mags on the market at this time! Have placed my subscription and eagerly await the first issue!!!
It looks very interesting. I wish I had a chance of buying a copy. But I’ll be sure to look for it next time I’m in the UK.
Can Not Wait!
SO exciting! i just ordered a subscription!
oh yay! i love print magazines. i’m a sucker for things i can hold in my hand, pass around to friends, stick on my wall, etc :)
Go Meg!!!
*gasp* AB Chao!
Finally! A glimpse of hope after the end of Domino. Give shelter magazines another chance. Also, print rules!
Anthology looks incredible! I was about to say how excited I was to see a chance at a magazine since the days of domino but it looks like Rex beat me to it…I’ll have to order a copy and add their site to my blog feed.
OK, I COVET THE PAINTING. Any artist info?
where are those adorable vintage looking thermos’ from? Any advice on where to find them?
Thanks for all of the encouragement and support!
AGV – The painting is by Meredith Pardue.
Phew!! Great to see another design mag. With those that have fallen during this recession, I was beginning to worry that they would become extinct. Good luck Anthology and I hope you are very successful.
how cute! i wish i could buy it in europe..
LOVE the idea of a new print magazine. While I know the folks at Lonny are super creative, it is so hard for my older eyes to read online!
Where will we be able to buy it? Lynn
cute thermoses on the kitchen shelf? anyone know where they’re from?
Yea! Yea! Yea! As a printer (in my 8-5 life), I am very excited about this. Hoping there will be a grassroots movement to embrace the PRINTED work again…so I can keep doing what I love. Congrats to Meg and Anh-Minh
Can’t wait to check this out!
Fantastic! Would love to subscribe, but I’m in Berlin, Germany! Is there any possibility to get your magazine here?
Thanks for all your support and enthusiasm!!
Taylor – the thermoses are vintage (the owner’s collection: some bought, some inherited)
As for buying the magazine, you can go to http://www.anthologymag.com. (For US, UK, and Canada residents).
As for Germany and elsewhere, we’re working on finding independent booksellers and shops to carry the mag!
Looking forward to the first issue! The video was very clever.
Where is that quilt on the bed (the one with the zig zag pattern) from? I feel like I have seen it somewhere before and I just love it!
