Apartamento #36

Apartamento is a magazine (nominally) about interior design, born in Barcelona. Since its launch in 2008, both the magazine and Apartamento publishing house have gained cult status for their bold approach to choosing subjects, candid and intimate photographs of their homes, and consistently excellent interviews.

In this issue, readers visit the iconic Charleston House with writer and researcher Noreen Masud, step into the world of artist Louis Fratino, whose intimate paintings are now exhibited in leading museums around the world, and meet Georgian filmmaker Dea Kulumbegashvili, one of the most distinctive voices in contemporary arthouse cinema.

Also featured in this issue:

– Spanish artist Ignasi Monreal, whose work moves between digital art, fashion, and classical painting
– florist Valerie Giampietro and designer Alessandro Cicoria, known for bringing together nature and contemporary aesthetics
– legendary Mexican photographer Graciela Iturbide, whose black-and-white images have become classics of documentary photography
– Nigerian musical duo the Lijadu Sisters, icons of 1970s Afro-funk and psychedelic music
– Japanese photographer Takashi Homma, known for his observations of urban landscapes and everyday life

The issue also includes “Nelly,” a short story by Argentine writer Mariana Enriquez, and Time 2 Kill, a series of playful, tongue-in-cheek diversions by artist and illustrator Jody Barton.
