165 Best Tumblrs for Designers

With Tumblr’s 10 year anniversary around the corner, I wanted to take some time to highlight some of the best surviving art & design collections online.

Have a look through all 165, sorted into the following categories: Graphic Design, Typography, Art, Architecture, Furniture, Interior Design, Book Design, Sculpture & Installation, Fashion, Photography, and Misc.

Each thumbnail is clickable and will take you to the respective Tumblr. A handy hack for those that don’t know: type /archive after the Tumblr’s domain to see all of its posts easily. Enjoy!
