Tokyo Design Studio Australia Launches New Intellectual Design Publication
Design Magazine offers a fresh perspective on design, focusing on its philosophical, psychological, and cultural impact, and sets itself apart from traditional trend-driven publications.
Sydney, Australia, 6th Jan 2026 – Tokyo Design Studio Australia is proud to announce the official launch of Design Magazine, a digital publication that brings thoughtful, in-depth exploration to the design world. The magazine, founded in 2023 by Jess and Victor Tavitian, offers a platform for design professionals to explore design beyond aesthetics, delving into its cultural, psychological, and philosophical implications.
Design Magazine seeks to provide designers with the intellectual space they often lack in client work. The publication’s content, crafted by Tokyo Design Studio’s multicultural team based in Sydney and Saigon, reflects a global perspective that balances academic rigor with practical insights. Articles are deeply researched, focusing on topics that challenge conventional design thinking and encourage broader intellectual discussions.
“We wanted to create something that reflects our belief that design is not just about decoration, it’s a reflection of cultural, psychological, and societal forces,” says Jess Tavitian, founder of Tokyo Design Studio Australia. “The magazine is a space where we can engage deeply with ideas that are often overlooked in mainstream publications.”
A Unique Approach to Design Content
Unlike many design publications that prioritize trends and viral content, Design Magazine is committed to providing long-form, intellectual articles that explore design’s deeper meanings. Topics have ranged from examining the cultural implications of design aesthetics to questioning the limitations of widely used tools in the industry. Recent articles include explorations of design in the context of visual culture and discussions of the democratization of design tools, offering readers thought-provoking insights rather than quick, trend-based reads.
The publication’s commitment to intellectual depth has garnered a loyal following among design professionals and students seeking content that goes beyond surface-level trends. The magazine’s articles typically exceed 2,000 words, allowing for thorough analysis and reflection.
“We’re building a publication that aims to stand the test of time,” adds Victor Tavitian, co-founder of Tokyo Design Studio Australia. “We want each article to be a comprehensive exploration that adds lasting value to the design community.”
A Growing Global Reach
Design Magazine has already gained traction with design professionals and enthusiasts worldwide, particularly in creative hubs in North America, Europe, and Asia-Pacific. The publication’s intellectual approach resonates with designers seeking more than just inspiration but a platform for deep, meaningful discussion.
Looking to the future, Design Magazine plans to further expand its editorial reach, exploring emerging design fields such as sustainable architecture, AI-driven creativity, and biomimicry, while continuing its focus on the philosophical and psychological aspects of design.
The publication is also looking into new content formats, including video essays, to further engage its audience and bring its in-depth articles to a broader digital audience.
