Apartamento

An independent interiors magazine founded in Barcelona in 2008, known for presenting lived-in homes and personal domestic spaces rather than idealised interior-design showpieces.

Overview

Apartamento

Apartamento launched in 2008 as a biannual magazine built around a deliberately informal idea of interiors: homes as they are actually inhabited, with interviews, photography and personal detail given equal weight. A publishing branch followed in 2015, extending the project into books and special editions.

Why it matters

Within TMR, Apartamento represents a major strand of twenty-first-century independent magazine culture: a distinctive editorial voice, restrained graphic identity and an approach to interiors that treats domestic space as cultural biography.
