    UK Design Magazine Hunt

    Hello everyone, I’m hoping you can help me find out the name, and potentially back issues, of a UK published design magazine from the 80s. It focused on new product design with a modern aesthetic. I don’t think it was Graphis but was similar.

    They would have photos and articles on things like the Dyson vacuum before it came out.

    That’s not much to go I realize.

    Thank you!
