Popeye,Issue 935 – My Room My Rules
Release date: March 14, 2025
POPEYE magazine is the “Magazine for City Boys”. The founders printed this on the cover of the magazine when it debuted in 1976. What’s a “city boy”? The term doesn’t appear in the dictionary and no expert panel could define it. So we felt we should explore every aspect of what this “city boy” might be. After decades of debate, it still makes for a topic of lively discussion. It can be a style or a way of thinking. To get an idea of what makes a city boy, read POPEYE magazine.
In this issue:
Once you’ve found a great property and bought some great furniture, is that the end of creating a room? Of course not. An interior is only complete when it reflects the personality of the person who lives there. We are drawn to rooms that naturally exude a person’s individuality. So how does that “individuality” come about? This is what we explored in this special feature. It’s your own room, so it would be a little sad to just look around and line it with trendy items. Let’s create it however we like, following our own rules. Contents: Me, my room, and my rules. We visited 13 rooms in 11 cities in search of unique ways to live. We asked each person about their “my rules” when creating their interiors! #01 NEW YORK 1 / #02 COPENHAGEN /#03 MONTREAL /
#04 DEHRADUN /#05 PARIS / #06 NEW YORK 2 /
#07 NEW YORK 3 / #08 LONDON /#09 KANAGAWA /
#10 VIRGINIA /#11 MILAN / #12 EHIME /#13 STOCKHOLM
