We’re very proud to present our new, revamped Protein Journal: a global trend report and culture magazine, released quarterly at key stores and locations internationally. The subject of this issue is The City, with stand out features including an exclusive from design critic and author Stephen Bayley on the true value of urban living, Chi Raq, a stunning photo piece from filmmaker Will Robson-Scott chronicling gang life in Chicago, a chat with Nelly Ben Hayoun, the wildly inventive mind behind NASA’s International Space Orchestra, as well as a 30 page Insight section featuring extensive investigations into the nature of modern, urban life around the world.

Taking a global look at the individuals driving innovation at all levels and in all areas, the new Protein Journal is an indispensable source of inspiration, ideas and insights.

You'll find the Protein Journal for free at Ace Hotels, The Sanderson, The Ritz, Club Silencio (Paris) and Chateau Marmont (LA), as well as the Protein Store and our cafe in Shoreditch, where you'll get a free coffee when you buy a copy.

From next week the Journal will be on sale in the UK at WHSmith, Artwords, Rococo's, Compton News, and Magazine Shack, and in more discerning independent stores in Australia, Austria, Brazil, Canada, China, the UAE, Holland, Hong Kong, Italy, Malaysia, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Singapore, Taiwan and the US. For everyone in France and Germany, hold tight, we will be there for the next issue.
