Focus and Scope

Res Mobilis is a publication specialized in studies related to furniture, decorative objects and art, analyzed from different perspectives: market, commerce, tendencies, factories, stores, catalogues, design, relationship between refined-antique and middle class furniture, interior design, the role of the designer, decoration and society, ... This journal was created as a forum to discuss research related to these fields, and with a strong Americanist orientation, although there are great similar publications in the Anglo Saxon world, there is still no evidence of a publication that includes the richness of the Latin American world.

This journal is aimed at an academic and professional audience, but it is also relevant for people interested in design, interior design and furniture, analyzed from a multidisciplinary perspective that involves art history, anthropology, sociology, the world of decorative objects, spatial arts, the history of taste and museological procedures concerning decorative objects and design.
