We loved issue two of Chutney, with its delicate risograph-printed colours and engaging stories. Would a move to offset printing change its character? Luckily not; this third issue succesfully turns what might have been a negative into a positive and is a step forward for the magazine about culture and identity.

We’re smitten by Pleasant Place, a smart new magazine from Amsterdam devoted to gardening. It’s a subtle piece of publishing, both serious and fun at the same time, and beautifully designed to reflect that mix. You don’t have to love gardening to enjoy it, but it’ll surely win over some converts to the activity.

With its 41st issue released this week, Italian ‘Contemporary Aesthetics’ magazine Kaleidoscope is making its mark. We’ve watched it grow quietly, but now its shiny, brash and colourful presence deserves recognition. We’re excited to present it as our January 2023 Magazine of the Month.

Our final Magazine of the Month for 2022 is Interview, which has doubled down on founder Andy Warhol’s celebrity obsession. We love the urgency of its photography and typography. Art director Kurt Woerpel talks us through the latest type directions as we share copies with our Club members and award it Magazine of the Year!

November’s Mag of the Month is, for the first time, a brand new launch. Safelight Paper is a collection of analogue images by 11 photographers, a broad range of styles and subjects celebrating the power of film and the darkroom.

October’s Magazine of the Month is long-term favourite Fantastic Man. Their first ever Menswear Special gives the creative team the chance to have some fun on the streets of Amsterdam and catalogue the eight key men’s garments, including the skirt, in honour of interviewee Jean Paul Gaultier.
