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 #32 features Marianna Rothen, Nona Gaprindashvili, Deanna & Ed Templeton, King Krule, Anthea Hamilton, John Divola, Wayne Ngan, Ruby Neri, Not Vital, Akwaeke Emezi, Louise Bonnet & Adam Silverman, Vincent Darré, Jago Rackham & Lowena Hearn, and Tom of Finland. Plus: Kazuo Shinohara’s House with an Earthen Floor, ‘Commonwealth’, a short story by Bryan Washington, and texts by Rafram Chaddad (tr. Joanna Chen), Emily Balistrieri, Victoria Cirlot, Leeor Ohayon, Danyel Smith, Eva Baltasar (tr. Julia Sanches), Estelle Hoy, and Gerardo Sámano Córdova.
