D5 MAG honours projects that balance creativity with purpose, highlighting the work of architects, interior designers, industrial innovators, furniture designers, and lighting experts influencing the way we live, work, and experience space. Through carefully developed interviews, in-depth features, and considered editorial coverage, the platform explores the ideas, processes, and inspirations behind each project, with a focus on thoughtful design. True to its mission of supporting a global design community, D5 MAG shares projects and perspectives from diverse cultures and regions, with special attention given to work that addresses social impact, environmental responsibility, and the broader role of design in shaping a more considered future.
Since 2020, D5 MAG has been built by a hands-on editorial team that works closely with designers, studios, brands, and institutions worldwide, making Every article is the result of real exchanges, careful research, and editorial judgement, from reading submissions and responding to inquiries to asking the right questions and refining each story before publication. The platform is built on collaboration between editors, writers, partnership managers, and social media specialists who are actively involved in the publishing process and in ongoing dialogue with the design community.
While D5 MAG explores emerging technologies, including AI, and transparently credits AI-created visuals when they are part of a project, our storytelling remains human-led. As the content is produced faster than ever, we believe real design work deserves to be seen, understood, and valued.
