UPDATE: As of Oct 7, the Design Annual will be available on newsstands at all the fine retailers that carry Portland Monthly.

The first-ever Portland Monthly Design Annual delves into the city's many vibrant design scenes, with in-depth looks at the boldest local architecture, a freewheeling visit to a pair of eclectic (and eccentric) riverside homes, a gallery of amazing local makers, and more. Discover the secrets of OMSI's exhibition design, the most beautiful Portland-rooted video game, how Kinfolk took over everyone's Instagram feed, and how to stage a house to sell. Bask in the warm glow of a remodelled midcentury treasure, and kick back (in your imagination, at least) on the locally designed lounger that combines Adirondack classicism with lawn-chair lowbrow.

The Design Annual's digital edition comes included when you download Portland Monthly's October issue via iTunes, Zinio, for Kindle, or for Nook. Enjoy!
