Quarterly

Quarterly offers a design-oriented subscription service enabling anyone to sign up and receive curated gifts from influential contributors.

Quarterly is somewhat of an outlier, having created a design-oriented subscription service and accompanying web platform, which allows anyone to sign up and receive receive curated, physical gifts from influential contributors like President of the Rhode Island School of Design, John Maeda, Behance Founder Scott Belsky, and Alexis Ohanian of Reddit, Breadpig, and Hipmunk fame — by mail. Quarterly is a new way to connect with the people you follow and find interesting. They spend so much of their lives connecting with people online that they forget the value of tangible interactions that happen in the real world. Quarterly wants to bridge that gap by allowing anyone to subscribe to influential curators and receive physical items in the mail from them. It’s like a magazine, but instead of receiving words on a page, their subscribers receive actual items that tell a compelling story crafted by the curator.
