The Demise of Domino

Domino Magazine shutters.

More from Grace at Design*Sponge.  (Don’t judge me for being unoriginal.  This is big news.)

Domino Magazine is no more.  Finished.  Caput. 

My client, Bonnie, used to give them to me when they first went to print 3 years or so ago.  She HATED the magazine and was happy to have only paid $10 for it.  I thought it was simple, small but otherwise OK, and I was getting it for free so I was happy.  Her subscription ended, and a period of time went by.  I started to read more and more about it on the blogs. We got a free issue in the mail and my husband (the wonderful metrosexual that he is) loved it and ordered it for me. Er…him.  Well whatever. 

I enjoyed reading Domino.  I found it interesting how very eclectic it was on the price scale.  The designs featured were sometimes a little low side and WAY high end other times.  It was still rather thin, and seem to be stuck on one style, but who’s complaining.  It is all history now.  Is this a sign of the times to come? 

I did complain once, if you remember.  The editors bragged about a dinner party where children were allowed to join in.  The adults at the table were smoking.
