WALLPAPER* PUBLISHES ITS FIRST GUIDE TO INVESTMENT
October 10, 2008
Wallpaper*, the international design, fashion and lifestyle magazine, is looking beyond the credit crunch gloom by publishing its first guide to investment for the design-conscious, included in the magazine's November issue.
Over 32-pages, Wallpaper's guide looks at an array of investment opportunities; from precious objects of desire and dream vintage drives to off-shore designer developments and design-art, Wallpaper's November issue is a must-see for the financially savvy design connoisseur.
Key features in Wallpaper's Investment Guide include:
· Design LTD: As A-listers and oligarchs move in, get a handle on the design-art market. Wallpaper* gives the low-down on collecting limited editions and one-offs
· Temptation Island: Wallpaper* reveals the remarkable new island developments where luxury meets radical design
· Nice Assets: the magazine shares its favourite collectables and offers expert advice about what really counts when buying investment pieces.
Tony Chambers, Wallpaper's editor-in-chief, says: “This one's for keeps, we are against flippancy and flipping; we're against the culture of disposability and I think this issue will be the ultimate investment in itself.”
Publishing director Gord Ray adds: “Wallpaper's themed issues are a huge hit with readers and advertisers alike, tapping into the most important aspects of our readers' lives. This guide will be invaluable for Wallpaper* readers wanting to indulge their passion for design and at the same time reap financial rewards.”
Wallpaper's November issue is on sale now.

Notes to editors
About Wallpaper*

This year Wallpaper* magazine increased to a monthly frequency: the Secret Elite issue was the first July issue. Wallpaper's May issue was the magazine's biggest ever spring issue.
Since its launch in 1996, Wallpaper* has consistently been one of the most influential design magazines, as well as the most beautiful. It is a creator, not a follower, of trends.
