Design Anthology Documenting creative culture Founded in 2014, Design Anthology is a modern media brand dedicated to documenting creative culture across Asia Pacific.

Under the leadership of editors-in-chief Simone Schultz and Jeremy Smart, Design Anthology publishes a flagship biannual print magazine, tells stories across a portfolio of digital platforms, hosts in-person experiences and presents industry-leading programmes such as the Design Anthology Awards. Design Anthology is dedicated to documenting thoughtful and considered spaces, products and ideas that

contribute to the wellbeing of the people who use them and the world around them. Design Anthology is ultimately a celebration of Asia Pacific’s burgeoning cultural sectors and the skilled practitioners who call these world-leading creative economies their home.
