Domus is an Italian architecture and design magazine founded in 1928, documenting modernist architecture, interior design, and applied arts across the twentieth century.
Domus is an Italian architecture, design, and art magazine founded in Milan in 1928, making it one of the oldest continuously published design magazines in the world. Under the editorship of Gio Ponti from its founding, and later under Ettore Sottsass and other significant figures, Domus documented the development of Italian modernism across architecture, product design, and graphic design.
The archive holds several issues spanning several decades of Domus’s run. See also Italian Modernism and Italian graphic design history.
