Protein Journal

We really like the new and improved Protein Journal by the inspiring people of Protein. The subject of the first revamped issue is The City. It features articles including a write-up by design critic and author Stephen Bayley on the true value of urban living, a stunning photo piece from film maker Will Robson-Scott chronicling gang life in Chicago named ‘Chi Raq’ and The Urban Think-Thank piece by Tag Christof featuring the series of pictures of Torre David by my brother. A chat with Nelly Ben Hayoun, the wildly inventive mind behind NASA’s International Space Orchestra, can be found in it as well as a 30 page Insight section featuring extensive investigations into the nature of modern, urban life around the world.

Over the past fifteen years Protein has established itself as a leading expert on the habits and interests of tastemakers around the world. That being the minds that keep modern culture ticking: artists, scientists, chefs or designers, if they’re changing the game, Protein know about it. The Protein Journal is available for free at Ace Hotels, The Sanderson, The Ritz, Club Silencio in Paris and the infamous Chateau Marmont in Los Angeles, as well as the Protein Store and cafe in Shoreditch, London, where you’ll get a free coffee when you buy a copy.
