LUNCHEON no. 20 is a London-based culture magazine that poetically connects art and food culture. It is structured like a "beautiful table" where cuisine, photography, contemporary art, fashion, crafts, and written expression meet, making the act of turning pages feel like a rich course meal. In Issue 20, through the perspectives of photographers, artists, chefs, and designers, the magazine carefully captures the stories and sensations at the heart of "food and creation," featuring numerous visuals that are serene yet deeply resonant. Portraits, still lifes, documents, and essays flow seamlessly, allowing readers to enjoy the 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 an interior accent. It embodies the aesthetic sensibility of LUNCHEON, which freely crosses the boundaries of food, fashion, and art.

LUNCHEON

LUNCHEON is a highly original culture magazine published in London, centered on the theme of "the intersection of food and art." As its name suggests, it uses "luncheon" as an iconic motif, weaving together the creativity of various creators—cooks, artists, photographers, designers, and writers—as "stories that meet at the table." The magazine features a large format and thick paper, giving it the presence of an art book. With its generous white space, poetic photographs, and thoughtful interviews and essays, the act of turning pages becomes an experience akin to savoring a rich course meal. Unlike typical fashion or art magazines, LUNCHEON does not strictly categorize genres. It explores the "source of creation" of its makers in depth, traversing diverse settings such as ateliers, kitchens, studios, dining tables, and urban landscapes. The reason it has continued to be 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 time."
