Dwell magazine's Editor in Chief Sam Grawe and Design Director Kyle Blue have both stepped down after five years with the magazine, according to a report in Curbed.
The news came from a Tweet on Friday that read, "Enjoying my last day @dwell with @KyleBlue ... It's been an amazing decade of design."
Blue is relocating from San Francisco, where Dwell is headquartered, to Brooklyn, where his design studio Everything-Type-Company (E-T-C) is based. There is no information as to where Grawe is headed, or who will be replacing him.
