We started DOHOMI because we could not find it. There are magazines about beautiful houses, and magazines about being more productive, and magazines that will tell you which seventeen objects to buy to signal that you have read the other magazines. There was no publication simply about how we live, observed closely and, occasionally, laughed at.
So this is that. We are interested in the questions that fall between the categories — between design and technology, between work and meaning, between the room and the person standing in it. We are interested in attention, because it turns out to be the hinge on which everything else swings.
What we promise
To be serious without being solemn, and curious before we are conclusive. We will not tell you to wake at five, or to romanticise your commute, or to optimise anything. We will try, in each piece, to say one true thing you had half-noticed and never quite put into words — and to say it well enough that you stop for a moment and think about it for longer than you meant to.
The whole ambition, really: not to fill your time, but to be worth some of it.
How it is made
DOHOMI is edited and art-directed in-house. We publish one issue at a time and one weekly letter, and we would rather publish less, better. Words are the work of the editors. The photography you see is sourced from independent photographers and credited below.
