It’s a funny time to start buying up shelter magazines, but try telling that to Sandow Media. In a move that King Pyrrhus might have admired, the publishers of luxury deluxe LUXE are expanding their stable of lifestyle/architecture glossies with the acquisition of Western Interiors and Design. The circulation figures—250,000 and rich rich rich—ain’t half bad, but we have to wonder about the mag’s fundamentals: WID had to rustle up an unspecified figure from their investors in January for, ahem, “continued growth” in this “difficult economic environment.” Sandow Media is headed up by cunning young entrepreneur Adam Sandow, whose aim is to spawn a legion of regional luxury publications. He’s Florida-based, so, you know, they’re feeling pretty cocksure down there about fancy new houses.
