Future : Wallpaper* brings back its iconic, pocket-sized Travel Guides, reimagined for today’s design-conscious
About this update from Future Plc
Wallpaper*, the global design authority, has relaunched its celebrated Travel Guides, reintroducing the essential companion for today's design-led traveller. Building on the legacy of the original Wallpaper* City Guides - an 80-strong series first launched in 2006 - the newly reimagined Travel Guides return in 2026 with Milan, London, New York City and Paris. Each edition is curated by a Wallpaper* writer based in the city, offering a distinctly local, insider perspective on four of the world's most culturally dynamic and design-forward destinations.
