currant magazine is about appreciating a life of style
whilst seeking a conscious and purposeful way of life
we analyse the shifts and emotions that mark our present time
and cover thought-provoking and inspiring stories relating to these shifts and emotions
the name currant comes from
current — the tide, the shift, the flow
courant — the journal, the newspaper, the record
"I want to break free from the traditional mould of magazine making.
Having impactful and artistic stories as the driving force instead of advertising.
Offering a place for icons as well as emerging talents.
Covering the whys, the hows and the whos instead of the whats.
And in the end — encouraging a conscious and purposeful way of life."
— Igrien (editor-in-chief)
