Documenting creative culture

Design Anthology was founded in Hong Kong at a time when few international media organisations were paying serious attention to Asia’s rapidly growing creative industries. More than a decade later, it remains the only media brand to combine deep regional expertise with a truly international outlook, documenting the people, places and ideas shaping Asia Pacific and beyond.

Under the leadership of editor-in-chief Jeremy Smart, Design Anthology reaches a global audience through its flagship print magazine, digital platforms, events and industry-leading programmes such as the Design Anthology Awards. Its founding principles remain unchanged: fierce editorial independence, intellectual curiosity and an instinct for recognising the next generation of creative talent.

Produced by an international network of editors, journalists and photographers, Design Anthology offers readers a level of access and insight not found elsewhere. From private residences and design studios to landmark hotels, cultural institutions and design-led companies, our stories reveal the thinking behind some of the world’s most compelling projects and the people who bring them to life.

Independent and privately owned, Design Anthology publishes selectively, investing in original reporting, photography and filmmaking that distinguish its work in an increasingly noisy media ecosystem.

As a result, Design Anthology is trusted by many of the world’s leading architects, designers, hoteliers, brands and cultural institutions, and read by a highly engaged audience that values our unrivalled expertise and integrity.
