Description
Photographer Dominique Nabokov was raised by her aunt Simone from the age of four, in a detached house surrounded by a modest garden in the French town of Compiègne. Those formative years would be a blend of everydayness—from picnics to car rides in the family’s Deux Chevaux—and of vivid daydreams propelled by her fascination with Hollywood and its stars.
After her aunt’s death in 1999, Dominique decided to photograph the house, as it was left, to keep a record of the place where it all began and a memory of the person behind it. The photographs are accompanied by a vivid memoir, written by Gini Alhadeff from an interview with Dominique, to give a glimpse into her generally unknown and extraordinary life story.
‘I wanted to make this book—this memoir, this memory of the house of someone who had meant a great deal to me, to us all, and of a universe which was a sort of laboratory for what I was to become’.
—Dominique Nabokov

Honest interiors and stories that inspire how we live.
Apartamento is widely recognised as today’s most influential, inspiring, and honest interiors magazine. International, well-designed, well-written, and tastefully curated, it is an indispensable resource for individuals passionate about how they live.
Nacho Alegre, Omar Sosa, and Marco Velardi founded the magazine 2008 in Barcelona, Spain. It is published biannually from its headquarters.
The idea for Apartamento came from Alegre's experiences traveling across Europe as a photographer. He became interested in how people express themselves through their living spaces. Sharing a different perspective on how people live, consume and create, the beds they sleep in, the food they eat, the clothes in their closets and the music they play. A refreshingly honest and inspiring read, now accompanied by a covetable range of books that take a deeper look inside these people's homes.
