Nest

Nest magazine was founded in 1997 by Joseph Holtzman in New York City and ran until 2004. This iconic, groundbreaking interior design publication was a highly influential and ran for 26 issues. It became a cult classic by rejecting traditional, luxury-driven shelter magazine tropes. Instead of conventional luxury homes, Nest celebrated exceptional, unusual, and strictly non-traditional environments—ranging from a cell in a maximum-security prison to Farrah Fawcett-themed attic rooms. The publication was famous for its lavish, cost-no-object production value, which frequently incorporated die-cut edges, textiles, unusual materials (like a popsicle stick glued to the cover), and intricate graphic design layouts. Due to its short run and major impact on indie publishing, vintage issues are highly collectible.
