Editions for designers. The best interior and design magazines. Lisa. My cozy home
Designers are busy people. As a rule, they sit at their computers, work all day long, draw something, typeset, rebuild. But how do they rest? They read magazines, probably some design ones. But when will they buy these magazines? For this, you need to go outside ...
