For the intellectually curious and aesthetically driven
Currant is a platform exploring the aesthetics and evolving ideas shaping modern life. We offer a refined lens on culture, fashion, design, and the art of living—blending beauty with intellect, and style with substance. Our mission is to inspire a stylish and purposeful life. We believe luxury isn’t about excess, but about intention: choosing quality over quantity, timelessness over trend, and meaning over momentary appeal. At Currant, we celebrate craftsmanship, curation, and culture—from well-designed spaces to independent fashion, private art viewings, and thought-provoking essays.
In print, with purpose
Our passion for print is foundational. As one of the first ad-free, coffee-table book magazines in the Netherlands, Currant offers a slower, tactile alternative to fast content. Each quarterly issue is sold in boutique bookstores, museum shops, and concept stores around the world, crafted to be both beautiful and worth keeping. We treat print as an art form—every issue is designed with the highest attention to storytelling, layout, and materiality. And when the time calls for it, we extend our vision beyond the magazine through special book projects that go deeper into the ideas, people, and aesthetics we admire.
The founder
Currant was founded in 2021 by Igrien, a visual artist and creative director with over a decade of experience in the luxury industry, working with brands like Selfridges, De Bijenkorf, Chanel, Canon, Moët & Chandon, Ruinart, Solace London, Viktor & Rolf and Chopard. With a background in both storytelling and visual culture, she brings a fresh, inclusive perspective to the world of luxury media—one rooted in curiosity, cultural nuance, and intentional design.
As the first woman of color to lead an independent print magazine in the Netherlands, she continues to shape Currant as a breathing platform—one that evolves with life, reflects thoughtful transitions, and offers women a place to explore the world with both intellect and style.
