As design lovers, we live for the visual. We look to imagery to find inspiration, instruction, comfort, or pleasure—all of which we needed in great measure this last year. As we reflect on the peaks and valleys of 2021, we're grateful for the sustenance the Colorado design community continues to provide. Thank you to the makers and visionaries, and to you, our dedicated readers. Please enjoy our 50 favorite images, compiled from stories published in Modern in Denver's four 2021 issues.
