CULTURED has always chronicled culture where it happens; now we’re publishing where it lives.
We'd like to introduce you to CULTURED at HOME, a new annual print volume devoted to the rooms, objects, and private rituals that shape contemporary culture. Guest‑edited by Alexandra Cunningham Cameron, curator of contemporary design at the Smithsonian Design Museum Cooper‑Hewitt, the inaugural issue will reimagine the domestic sphere as a stage for radical aesthetics, personal myth‑making, and quiet acts of creativity.
Inside, readers will find an expanded roster of the voices and perspectives they’ve come to expect from CULTURED: designers Adam Charlap Hyman, Sam Chermayeff, and Carlos Soto will dissect the poetry of proportion; Apartamento co‑founder Omar Sosa Bartolomé will map new material frontiers; and creative director Erin Knutson will lend her exacting eye, while MoMA’s Ruba Katrib and critic Jarrett Earnest trace the cultural currents flowing through every doorway.
Cameron describes the issue not as a magazine but “a way of seeing”—a lens trained on interiors, exteriors, objects, and ideas redefining how we live now. “Approaching domestic life as a site for acting out, shaped by evolving aesthetics, reinvention and the interplay of history and progress, we will bring together an expansive mix of interiors, exteriors, objects, and design ideas redefining our time,” she says.
The volume builds on CULTURED’s ongoing dialogue with creatives who blur boundaries between art, design, and storytelling. For over a decade, the magazine has peered inside the minds and imaginations of design pioneers including Rossana Orlandi, Kelly Behun, Gaetano Pesce, Amy Kehoe, and more. Their insights—along with the countless homes of artists and collectors we've toured alongside our readers—inform and foreshadow the spirit of CULTURED at HOME: intimate, inquisitive, and steadfastly design‑forward.
Launching during the fall fair season, the issue will be be hitting stands at Design Miami/ Paris and Salon Art + Design, as well as at a number of the magazine’s favorite galleries. It'll also appear at forthcoming celebrations to the new publication and editor-led salons in New York, Miami, and Los Angeles.
Consider this your invitation to step inside the world of CULTURED—and to discover how today’s most compelling minds shape the spaces they thrive in.
