"LUNCHEON no. 20" is a London-based culture magazine that poetically intertwines art and food culture. It is structured so that cuisine, photography, contemporary art, fashion, craft, and literary expression converge on a "beautiful table," making the act of turning each page feel like savoring a rich multi-course meal. Issue 20 meticulously uncovers the stories and sensations at the heart of "food and creation" through the perspectives of photographers, artists, chefs, and designers, featuring numerous visuals that are serene yet profoundly evocative. Portraits, still lifes, documents, and essays flow seamlessly, offering a unique "slow-reading experience" characteristic of LUNCHEON. The thick paper and large format enhance its physical presence, making it a collectible item that also serves as a striking interior accent. It embodies the condensed aesthetic of LUNCHEON, freely traversing the boundaries of food, fashion, and art.

LUNCHEON

Based in London, LUNCHEON is a distinctive culture magazine published around the theme of "the intersection of food and art."
As its name suggests, it uses "luncheon" as a symbolic motif, weaving together the creativity of various expressive individuals—chefs, artists, photographers, designers, writers—into "stories that meet at the table." The magazine features a large format and thick paper, giving it the presence of an art book. Its characteristic lies in its spacious layout, poetic photography, and thoughtful interviews and essays, making the act of turning each page feel like savoring a rich multi-course meal. Unlike typical fashion or art magazines, LUNCHEON does not clearly categorize genres. It explores diverse settings such as ateliers, kitchens, studios, dining tables, and urban landscapes, delving deeply into stories that touch upon the "sources of creation" of its contributors. The reason it has been continuously loved by creators worldwide is not only its beautiful printing, paper quality, and composition, but also because it is a rare magazine that offers readers a "reading experience that slows down the passage of time."
