About

Apartamento started in 2008 with the first issue of our eponymous biannual magazine. We were craving a different perspective on how people live, how people consume and create, the beds they sleep in, the food they eat, the clothes they keep in their closets and the music they play in their speakers.

Our publishing branch began in 2015 as a natural extension of the stories and ideas that have grown out of the magazine. In addition to our monographs and photo books, our catalogue also includes thematic cookbooks, architecture series, colouring books, and even a graphic novel.

Apartamento never strived to be the definitive answer to the high gloss superficiality you find in consumer magazines and books across the globe, but over the years it organically became more than just that. Today we are a fully independent brand which is driven by the genuine and honest relationship with its community, being the readers, contributors, the people we publish and the brands we work with.
