STOCKING STUFFERS
Give your favourite person the full festive treatment with an Apartamento subscription: a free tote, our biannual cult-classic magazine at 20% off, a sitewide discount at 10%, 60 whole days of free MUBI, and unlimited access to our treasure trove of online archives. Honestly, it’s one of the best gifts of the season. Pair it with Miguel Milá’s Essential—a braided mix of design wisdom, artist manifesto, and notes on living well—or go for the small-but-feisty Ángela Suarez’s Birds of Paradise. And don’t forget our second-edition Apartamento Notebooks in fresh new colours, made for writing, doodling, scheming, or bundling into the perfect stocking stack.
Snag your copies of issues #35 and #36 of our cult-classic magazine—the gift that keeps on giving: radiant, generous, and known to spark a full-blown interior frenzy. Grab one or both, but be warned: you may not want to part with them so easily. For the friend you really want to spoil, Tokyo Style is that true collector’s gem—an unmatched, intimate look into Tokyo homes as they’re truly inhabited, reissued by us 30 years after its original publication. And for the maximalist in your life, Dominique Nabokov’s Living Room series remains the holy trinity of interior photography: Paris, Berlin, New York—the triangle of dreams. Top it all off with the classic Apartamento tote, reimagined for the holiday season in raw cotton canvas and stamped with our signature heart in the colour blue flame. You’ll need something to carry all this festive spirit, consider it your blue cherry on top.

Oríkì is a journey into an artist’s dialogue between materiality and identity; Happy Victims is just that but on an entirely different wavelength; and Can Lis is a journey of monumental ambition, offering an intimate look at the iconic home of an iconic architect—a monastic temple and a lived-in space all at once. Three photobooks guaranteed to pull you out of your doomscrolling.
Dinner party? After-party? Some last-minute in-between party? We’re prepared. Start with Cookbook #10: Aphrodisiacs, serving a pavlova to mend a broken heart, plantains to warm it up, and a pineapple slab pie that will remedy any holiday-induced family dispute. Pair it with Apollo: State-of-the-art cooking and a party—subtitle says it all—and round it out with its bestselling prequel,Atelier September, for effortless hosting prowess. Both from Danish chef Frederik Bille Brahe, these two cookbooks are your Narnia door into modern, green, quietly chic gastronomy—a world of artful cooking and gathering, with a side of partying.
