Last Thursday, I attended the Apartamento Issue #02 launch party, which was, surprisingly, not held at an apartment. The crowd, primarily European art types, gathered at downtown design store Matter to sip on what seemed like an endless supply of Peroni, and toast the second-ever issue of a magazine exclusively devoted to “everyday life interiors.” Also on view at the party: a sneak peek of new furniture designs by Finnish design firm Artek.

In a time of financial woes, it was nice to see the continuance of such a wonderfully niche publication, which documents the relationships of real people with the intimate spaces in which they reside. Notable subjects from Issue #02 include Interview magazine editor (and Dossier contributer) Christopher Bollen, artist Terence Koh and DJ Erol Alkan.
