Since its launch in 1996, Wallpaper* has consistently been one of the most influential design magazines, as well as the most beautiful. It is a creator, not a follower, of trends. Few magazines can claim to have changed the world, but whether you are in the coolest bars and restaurants or the hippest hotels, the aesthetic that surrounds you was first championed by Wallpaper*. 2006 saw the magazine celebrate its ten-year anniversary and continue to influence a new generation of sophisticated design-followers looking for a refined individual style. The focus remains on continuing to search the globe for emerging trends and presenting the world’s best new designers and their extraordinary creations in a luxurious format.
