About the good design, Alice Rawsthorn reports:
A quietly good design project is exactly what the name suggests. It isn't necessarily innovative or iconoclastic, but it fulfills its function in so subtle and unshowy a manner that it somehow brings us pleasure.
And about Domus magazine, she says:
There are currently two stereotypes of magazine design. One is a frenzied, fragmented style of publication, which seems desperate to reassure its readers that it is as newsy and dynamic as the Internet. The second is a magazine, which looks like a book. The message here is that the content is likely to be more thoughtful, authoritative and memorable than anything you'll find online.
