Meet Modern In Denver magazine. We celebrate modern design and living in Colorado and beyond.
We’re much more than a magazine though. MID is also a platform for discussing and exploring inventive ways of

living that are inspired by modern design and practices.

We think good design can be an integral part of real life. In fact, we’ve seen it. And we want to tell you about it. We find it important to connect the designs we feature to the particulars of our place, our community, and the people in it.
This makes it real, practical and possible for great modern design to become part of your life.

We know you’re a discerning crowd. That’s why we’re committed to publishing more than just pretty pictures.
We bring you interesting, intelligent articles crammed full of qualified resources. We show you how real people create and live in honest-to-goodness modern places around the corner and maybe even right next door.

We spotlight architects, designers, artists and entrepreneurs.

MID also introduces our audience to a worldview of design, architecture and lifestyle. We profile international designs and designers for your inspiration. We report on the latest products and methods introduced at trade shows around the world.
This is done with the desire to influence and enrich our own evolving community.

The best part? You can join, contribute, get involved, network, learn, create, and discuss. It’s a platform.
And it’s a new community.
