Frame. The Great Indoors # 98

Frame is the world’s leading interior design publication. Since its launch in 1997, the magazine has remained faithful to its mission: putting interior architecture on the map as a creative profession that’s equally important as design and architecture. In six issues per year, Frame publishes the world’s most inspiring interiors, spiced up with design, art and creative endeavours like window displays and stage sets. Sold in 77 countries, Frame is printed in English, Chinese, Korean and Turkish.

After 17 years and 97 issues, we’ve turned Frame inside out and upside down. It was high time for a change. We are, after all, part of a fast-changing world. For starters, we’ve broadened our horizon, we sift through everything from fashion and film to materials and music. We spotlight more people, and handle a proactive approach where we charter certain topics and extensive in-depth analyses. We’ve also become less of a conduit for whatever appears on our radar and more of an initiator of ideas. The quest for something fresh has taken us on an exciting journey.
