LoftLife Releases Summer 2009 Issue on Newsstands Nationally

Distribution Includes Select Barnes & Noble, Borders & Hudson News

NEW YORK, July 14 /PRNewswire/ -- LoftLife, "The Loftstyle Guide to Life in
the City", releases its Summer 2009 issue nationally, celebrating one year of
existence. With national distribution in place, LoftLife is now available on
newsstands at select locations of Barnes & Noble, Borders, and Hudson News.

The summer issue, the publication's fourth quarterly issue to date, further
explores city living and tackles topics like sustainability, lasting modern
design, and worthwhile long-term design investments. Publisher Joe Resudek
says, "We're reaching an untapped demographic within the urban
shelter-magazine market, one that continues to ignore the recession. A lot of
readers have been left without a source of inspiration given the number of
publications that have closed within the past year, and we hope to continue to
further engage that audience."

In this issue, the magazine explores the impact this economic climate will
have on the future of architecture and design -- "The Future of the Loft" by
David Hay breaks down the past, present, and future of urban development; San
Francisco's eye-catching Losa Loft; a Q&A with Andrew Flesher of Gunkelman
Flesher Interior Design; a modern Midwestern Loft in Chicago; as well as an
Amsterdam travel piece covering the stops any design aficionado should make
while in the Netherlands.

The Board of Experts who weighed in on this issue include Poppytalk design
blogger Jan Halvarson; interior and event designer Miguel Calvo, who has
worked with both MoMA & the UN; Atlanta-based Urbane Environmentalist Jim
Hackler; Marcel Schreuder, partner and founder of Amsterdam's Springtime
design firm; and others.

A series of recent events were held surrounding the Spring 2009 issue
including Modern Atlanta's "Design Is Human" modern design week and home tour,
as well as a New York launch party at The Visionaire, Manhattan's greenest
luxury high rise located in Battery Park City.

LoftLife is available nationally in Barnes & Noble, Borders, Hudson News and
select metropolitan newsstands, with yearly subscriptions available through
the website at $12. Expected to be the first shelter publication available on
the Kindle, LoftLife is scheduled for availability in September 2009.
