After 296 issues (plus many more supplements and directories, awards and events), House and Leisure closed under its previous publisher in May 2020.  In the same year, LOOKBOOK was founded, a creative content studio and independent media company that\u2019s passionate about print and showcasing, spotlighting and supporting the decor and design industry. \u2018COVID-19 has changed the way we live and work dramatically,\u2019 says House and Leisure\u2018s Publisher Pieter Bruwer, the Co-Founder and Managing Director of LOOKBOOK. \u2018New opportunities inevitably open up, but one needs to pay attention and remain optimistic about the long-term future. In a time when we\u2019re craving a sense of stability and the familiar, and when screen fatigue is so prevalent, we have confidence in the longevity of print. But it couldn\u2019t have been just any magazine \u2013 House and Leisure has a respected reputation and legacy and is strategically focused on the right niche.\u2019 In her publisher\u2019s note in the very first edition 28 years ago, Jane Raphaely wrote, \u2018This magazine is a vote of faith in South Africa\u2019s future. It is based on the assumption that a great many people here are interested in a new way of looking at living.\u2019 Fast-forward to 2021 and the title\u2019s relaunch as a quarterly 200-plus-page coffee-table worthy collector\u2019s item. Inspired by trends in niche publishing and book design, there have been some changes to the design and mood, while maintaining House and Leisure\u2018s essence and continuing its legacy of championing the creative industry. \u2018Our new direction is one of effortless living \u2013 celebrating a sense of place, and touching on the mood and emotions that our homes and surroundings evoke,\u2019 says Charl Edwards, House and Leisure\u2019s Editor-in-Chief and the Co-Founder and Creative Director of LOOKBOOK. \u2018Despite a new direction and look and feel, we are still honouring the legacy of House and Leisure, remaining true to what we believe the reader has come to love over the past three decades.\u2019<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"","atbdp_listing_types":[2],"at_biz_dir-category":[23],"at_biz_dir-location":[35],"at_biz_dir-tags":[130],"class_list":["post-618","at_biz_dir","type-at_biz_dir","status-publish","atbdp_listing_types-general","at_biz_dir-category-newspapers-and-magazines","at_biz_dir-location-cape-town","at_biz_dir-tags-arts-culture-and-entertainment","entry"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/at_biz_dir\/618","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/at_biz_dir"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/at_biz_dir"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=618"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=618"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"atbdp_listing_types","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/atbdp_listing_types?post=618"},{"taxonomy":"at_biz_dir-category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/at_biz_dir-category?post=618"},{"taxonomy":"at_biz_dir-location","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/at_biz_dir-location?post=618"},{"taxonomy":"at_biz_dir-tags","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mypr.co.za\/directory\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/at_biz_dir-tags?post=618"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
