About dezeen
Our mission is simple: to bring you the best architecture, design and interiors projects from around the world before anyone else.
Dezeen was launched at the end of November 2006 and has grown rapidly to become one of the most popular and influential architecture and design blogs on the internet. We now get over a million visitors a month, and traffic is growing fast.
Dezeen has recently been included in Time magazine’s Design 100 list of the most influential forces in global design (below), and in Design Week magazine’s Hot 50 list of key figures in design.
