Your support will allow us to invest back into our editorial production, free from commercial pressure, and bring you more exciting stories and publications in the future.
Also, as a small independent team, it’s more practical for us to standardise all subscriptions to one year, and with members purchasing two issues in advance we can plan for more content and, above all, remain independent.
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.
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.
Because now more than ever, in a growingly chaotic digital world, we want to be able to get closer to our community, focusing on being able to provide better access to our content, and develop new projects, so that we can grow together with the people who care the most about our brand.
Two printed issues of our magazine, plus unlimited access to our digital archive, including all interviews from our back issues. In addition to becoming a member you’ll receive an automatic 10% discount on all our books and early access to future releases, including members-only merchandise.
Our goal has always been to share knowledge from the people we interview, to give access to the experience others have had before us. Our back issues can be hard to find, and often too expensive, therefore we think it’s worth this work is not lost and accessible.
An Apartamento membership is basically the cost of buying two issues + the shipping to your location.
Being a small independent team, it’s practical to standardise all subscriptions to one year, and thanks to you purchasing two issues in advance we can plan more content in advance and above all remain independent.
Because we don’t overcharge you in order to offer you free shipping. We also believe free shipping is not sustainable in the long run, there are real people involved in the process of shipping, from the courier who picks up the parcel from our warehouse in Barcelona all the way to the final delivery person who hands over the package directly to you at home. Those are important jobs and we should all be aware of their costs.
You can access the discount the same day, but in order to do so you first need to become a member, and then you can place a new order using the automatic discount at check out.
Please contact us directly at shop@apartamentomagazine.com to discuss the details.
Yes, you can select if the membership is a gift. When you do so please make sure you write the full gift recipient details including their email and number. Their membership will be active immediately after completing the check out, and while you will get an order confirmation email, they will also receive an email confirming their gift membership, asking them to create their own login credentials in order to have unlimited access to our digital archive.
When each issue is shipped you will receive an automated email with a tracking number.
For any enquiries about your membership shipments please get in touch quoting your membership number and tracking directly to our dedicated members email club@apartamentomagazine.com
When you sign up the exact shipping cost for delivering two issues to your country will be calculated at check out, according to the best rates our courier partners offers us at that point in time, we don’t add any margins on top. By purchasing a membership you lock your shipping costs for one year, that is two issues, even if shipping prices might vary in the future due to unforeseen circumstances.
You can cancel your membership at any time from your personal area. However our yearly membership is not refundable, so once you pay for it, you still receive the two corresponding issues and can access our digital archive for the full duration. On top you still get the 10% discount on our all our books. Your membership will then get canceled after a year automatically.
Sure, you can do that directly from your personal area. Shipping charges may differ from your original address, especially if you change country, so please bare that in mind. If you have any doubts or issues please get in touch quoting your membership number directly to our dedicated members email shop@apartamentomagazine.com
No, it doesn’t matter, you membership will always include two issues, all the benefits, and will last a full year.
Currently it’s not possible for us to combine memberships’ shipments with other orders. The magazine will be shipped directly from our printer, to make sure our members are amongst the first ones to receive it, while the regular orders are shipped from our warehouse in Barcelona.
