Arieff's "Living Design" blog
Allison Arieff, longtime editor-in-chief of Dwell magazine, resigned abruptly last month, citing a "fundamental change in the magazine's mission and philosophy." I subscribed to Dwell for two years upon its publication, and am curious to see what Arieff does next. For now, she has just begun a blog, "Living Design," for the New York Times, although it is only available to TimesSelect users. So far she has posted entries about Bill Stumpf, Airstream trailers, and bad car-interior design; her neighborhood in San Francisco; and the Cooper-Hewitt National Design Museum's new People's Design Award.
UPDATE, 9/26: Well, that was fast. Unbeige reports that Arieff has landed on her feet at IDEO, where she will be designer-in-residence.
