The new-era physical culture magazine that you've been waiting for!

Our dream is to create a place where impactful and inspiring ideas can thrive. This is how gg place magazine came to be. It's a place for all humans who care about this interconnected world, featuring impactful stories from around the planet, in many forms and languages, and in collaboration with writers, researchers, artists and translators.

The curation process is inspired by the practice of cultural anthropology. Each issue is dedicated to a specific theme that reacts to current challenges and broadens our understanding of the events, environments, and changes that surround us.

The magazine is folded out of a singular 3.8-meter-long strip of paper, a design inspired by orihon, which is a traditional manuscript folding technique in Japan. By combining the past knowledge with novel printing techniques, this double-sided accordion format creates a unique reading experience.
