Nest Magazine was an outlier in the magazine world with a brief but impactful life from 1997-2003. Joseph Holtzman, founder and editor-in-chief, created an outrageously unique and provocative experience for readers, exploring and revealing every kind of dwelling, from the professionally designed and grand, to the humble yet beautiful. 

In this lecture, Lisa Zeiger, former decorative arts editor at Nest, will present a lecture that will explore Nest as a magnificently unified work of art reflecting the taste of its founder, and offer a rare glimpse into the magazine's photography, graphic design, and eclectic array of authors and interiors.

The lecture will be followed by a discussion with Mitchell Owens, decorative arts editor at Architectural Digest, and Glenn Gissler, president of ASID New York Metro, on the magazine’s creators, exuberant content and its influence upon design thinking and writing today
