Founded in 1928 as a "living diary" by the great Milanese architect and designer Gio Ponti, Domus has been hailed as the world's most influential architecture and design journal. With style and rigor, it has reported on the major themes and stylistic movements in industrial, interior, product, and structural design.

In 2006 TASCHEN, the art-book publisher renown for its dazzling and audacious coffee table books, partnered with Domus to create a twelve volume collection - the best of Domus, so to speak, gathered to chronicle a specific era or decoration in each volume.
