Montreal (Canada), 25 April 2023 – World Design Organization (WDO)® announced today a new partnership with architecture and design magazine Editoriale Domus S.p.A (Domus). The exclusive collaboration, launching later this year in the form of an international editorial project, will leverage both parties’ shared commitment to strengthening the voice of design as a driving force for good.
Domus represents one of the most reputable magazines for architecture, interiors, art and design in the world. Through its monthly editions, the publication follows, promotes and anticipates architectural and artistic movements, tapping into creative impulses and investigating and sharing stories for a wide audience ranging from design professionals to design enthusiasts.
Drawing on their collective expertise, WDO and Domus aim to highlight issues of fundamental importance to the industry of contemporary design through exclusive content and insights devoted to design. Areas to be explored under the banner of this initiative include recent shifts in the design profession, emerging innovations from regions across the globe, as well as the impact of design on the UN SDGs.
“This is the inaugural edition of what we hope will be one of many future collaborations with Domus,” stated WDO President David Kusuma. “Together, with the contributions from our member organizations around the world, this initiative will showcase those design-led projects that are impacting and improving everyday life.”
“Domus is particularly pleased with this strategic agreement that looks long term and intends to serve as a platform for dialogue between two leading players on the global scene,” stated Walter Mariotti – editorial director of Domus. “ In particular, I am happy that WDO has chosen Domus as a partner because this means that in addition to positioning and values, it shares the same interpretive approach to reality in which design remains a key to excellence – a key that Domus has been using since 1928.”
More details about this partnership will be shared in the coming weeks. Creatives from the global design community are invited to contact WDO with ideas of interest for review by the editorial committee and for more information on visibility opportunities.
