“Objection is arguably the first big hitter in the interiors department we’ve seen since Cabana.” Magalleria
Objection Magazine offers a new perspective on objects and interiors, redefining the boundaries of traditional publishing as a beautifully tactile art object.
Imagined by Creative Director Emmanuelle Goutal, the magazine brings together a thoughtful curation of names from the worlds of fashion, photography, design, and architecture, celebrating beauty’s power to inspire through timeless stories.
The publication will consist of six collectible issues, each dedicated to a different room of a house.
The unbound, large format pages have been carefully considered, inviting readers to pause and experience each spread as a work of art. Printed on a rich, luxurious paper, the statuesque looseleaf pages of the magazine hold an inherently sensory quality.

"This beautifully produced, large-format launch is the perfect riposte to anybody thinking that the interiors magazine is a tired genre. Sized just under A3, the unbound pages of Objection flow across the table like prints, revealing a series of clever editorial ideas.
The scale and quality of production might be enough to recommend it alone, placing it alongside the likes of Luncheon and 212 for visual stimulus. But the looseleaf nature of the pages add a further dimension, emphasising the celebration of the printed page.
The rich, silk Fedrigoni paper is heavy enough that the pages don’t immediately disperse into single sheets, while drawing attention to their physical presence in a way bound pages wouldn’t. It’s a simple effect but thoroughly magazine-y – what other form of communication can offer such an engaging physical experience?
That presence is matched by the editorial ideas and their execution. Promising ‘A new look at interiors,’ each new issue will look at a single room type – this is The Living Room issue.
If that sounds like a lifestyle catalogue, thing again. The Living Room is a theme for the magazine team to explore using history, fashion, still life and design in a series of well-made features.”
