metropolitan home  

I enjoyed
Flipping through Met Home, as there was always one or two things that piqued my interest. Their food section was especially good. Also, you could get a subscription for very cheap or for free.
Met Home has/had a much more modern aesthetic than Elle Decor.

Not
to be confused with Metropolis -- which I assume is still going strong ?
(I tend to be behind the curve on cultural issues, having my head stuck firmly in the Modernist Past. . .!)

Right.
Metropolis is still being published.

Metropolis
...albeit in a smaller format than it used to be.

Yeah --
I recall the oversized version -- maybe meant to echo the old Village Voice tabloid format, or something (being NYC based. . .) Did it come originally from one of the schools -- Cooper Union, Pratt ? Or am I making that up. . .

Wow, no more Met Home
I was my first modernist mag, before Dwell came a long. I got Met Home for years right up until we moved to Santa Fe. Except for Dwell, I jetisoned everything, including Metropolis, at that point. Sorry to see Met home go. I was introduced to a wider spectrum of modernism by reading it. Too bad.

Wow
As a subscriber, I don't recall receiving a letter to that effect. I wonder if they'll just sub in Elle Decor for the remaining issues?
Modernism is my favorite and I would truly miss it if they were to shut down.

Didn't care for the rag - but...
Didn't care for the rag - but my condolences nonetheless. They got to where they only featured homes that were too perfect. I like my modern with a side of eclecticism.

Far from perfect, imo
The magazine was never strictly modern. They always featured a variety of architecture and decor styles, usually centered around modern but not always.
It was worth looking at for free or a few bucks, anyway.

So what's left that's worth...
So what's left that's worth a damn? Dwell is sucking...

Not much, whitespike
I'm actually thinking of letting my one remaining paper subscription laspe...dwell. I'm a charter subscriber, kinda feel bad about it, but I'm tired of them rehashing the same old thing over and over.

I don't know
Everything that I've subscribed to in the past is disappearing... And I've let my dwell subcription run out.
There are a few non-US titles that I would peruse every now and then... But they are so expensive to purchase or subscribe to.

My 2 Current Favs:
Modernism as mentioned above and I also just recently started a subscription to Garden Design that's really nice if your modern design interests carry over to the outdoors. I subscribe to Dwell as well but, it's not really my thing.

The only
The only mag I've ever found truly relevant was Metropolis. Modernism is a bit too focused for me - I don't really care for Modern pottery, for example, or Deco jewelry. Metropolis trends a little corporate, but I still find it interesting as they deal with a lot of preent day issues. And their typographer has finally stopped taking amphetamines, so its getting easier to read 🙂
