Slope & Swell Magazine

05/15/2020

The core of Slope and Swell Magazine is design and travel.
A large part of travel has always involved exploring new coffee shops, restaurants, and hidden gems the city has to offer. It saddens us to hear about the financial difficulty many businesses are facing as a result of the Covid-19 pandemic.
Right now, all of our backstock magazines are available for donation-based orders through the website. For all proceeds received, we commit to donating 10% to the Restaurant Workers’ Community Foundation to provide relief to those in the restaurant industry. Please visit our website to place an order and make your donation in support of your favorite small businesses.
In the following weeks we will be sharing some of our favorite memories and places that we’ve experienced, as well as future places we hope to travel to.
If you have a place you’d like to share or a restaurant you’d like to highlight, drop us a note or tag so we can re-share.
We look forward to the day cities reopen and travel plans can be made. We hope that our efforts will help ensure our favorite restaurants will reopen their doors too. For now, stay safe, stay home, and
Donation-based magazines are only available for domestic shipping within the United States.

Our latest volume takes you to the beaches of Hawaii up to the treetops of Sweden. We meet creatives who find their escape through surfing off the coast of Bali, lounging in a well-designed oasis and others who “escape” by means of a getaway car.

Slope & Swell is a triannual print magazine about design and travel.

Slope & Swell was born from the idea that you can experience design in all aspects of your life by traversing the world. Whether it be architecture, interiors, art, furniture, graphics, or any other creative outlet, what better way to explore and learn about it than through travel and adventure? Slope is an architectural term, and swell can be synonymous with the word “excellent,” but both share the commonality of applying to physical features. One describes the incline of a mountain, and the other describes the movement of waves, which was fate for our editors as Courtney hails from the Rockies in Colorado while Tam comes from the Pacific in California.

This magazine aims to bring awareness to all the arts and adventures that are out there. Design and inspiration can be at your doorstep, but more often than not, wandering further into the unknown is what will provide a truly fulfilling experience. Through stories and photos, this magazine hopes to inspire you to delve into your surroundings and pursue beauty in every form.
