As far as we can tell, Apartamento Magazine is doing a good job of keeping its reputation as the world's hippest interiors magazine. Often, before we know it, this unusual and influential missive from Barcelona has been and gone from the shelves.
Unlike the designed and refined, expensively accessorised living spaces glimpsed in more generic interior design magazines, the habitats (usually belonging to creative people) seen in Apartamento look smaller, often cluttered and authentically lived in. And that's the ethos behind the magazine: how people live in their homes and how their personal space tells their story.
Apartamento #34 features Espace Aygo, Ronan Bouroullec, Rose Wylie, Agosto Machado, Miyako Bellizzi, SAGG Napoli, Jane Dickson, Luca Lo Pinto, Gary Schneider & John Erdman, Celeste, Beca Lipscombe, Edgardo Giménez, Molly Manning Walker, Danny Fox, Bethan Laura Wood, Tove Jansson, and Olivia Laing. Plus texts by Phoebe Chen, Wale Ayinla, Janika Oza, Thea McLachlan, Miguel Ángel Hernández (tr. Fionn Petch), Claudia Durastanti, Elena Saavedra Buckley and Maria Judite de Carvalho (tr. Margaret Jull Costa) and ‘The Kid with No Dad’, a short story by Alejandro Zambra (tr. Megan McDowell).
