From Porto to the world, Attitude magazine celebrates fifteen years of publication
Article
Fifteen years in the publishing industry is a lot of time when we refer to an independent magazine.
There hasn't been any brand support or robust advertising campaigns, still no issue ever remained unpublished.
This is the story of a global bilingual magazine, borne in a traditional family set up, which has always met the highest standards in Interiors, Architecture, Design, Art and Lifestyle, designed in Porto and distributed worldwide.
For sure, Attitude is the title that best suits this publication.
To celebrate fifteen years in the publishing market, Attitude team has launched a book that embodies places, spaces and atmospheres "visited" in previous issues throughout the past one and a half decade.
The book features 180 pages offering photos by Carlos Cezanne, founder and director of Attitude, that divide their share of the sheet with brief texts.
The book begins with a beautifully written preface by the Mayor of Porto, Rui Moreira, describing Carlos Cezanne as "one of those exceptional people from Porto that has marked his city". Alongside his wife and companion, Ana Lapão, "Attitude has had a priceless role in disseminating Portuguese architects, decorators, ateliers, and materials", Rui Moreira enthuses.
Carlos Cezanne dedicates this book to a "massive minority" and acknowledges that it is not easy to keep such an independent project, "as it is not based in Lisbon".
"What started as a dream in Porto", is now "a much needed reality: the country needs this and it should be seen from other viewpoints and from other cities other than the capital". This means Attitude.
ATTITUDE Interior Design is a bimonthly international magazine focused on Interiors, Architecture, Design, Art and Lifestyle, with a worldwide distribution and based in Porto, Portugal.
