A Publication Exploring Intimacy in Life
Noén is a new independent magazine exploring modern intimacy through everyday rituals, shared spaces, and unspoken moments. WIth a unique perspective on the pervasiveness of intimacy in every aspect of our lives, we capture the subtle ways culture shapes connection — from how we touch, speak, eat, dress, rest, and connect — offering reflection, not prescriptions.
Through stories, visual essays, photography and conversations, we invite you to notice the quiet truths that define human closeness today. This is where modern intimacy becomes art, language, and lived experience worth slowing down for. A language spoken in gestures, rituals, and quiet truths. Read deeper. See sharper. Come closer.
It’s our yearly print-only work exploring intimacy as it moves through everyday culture– art, food, ritual, space, and music– bringing sensuality out of the margins and into the center of life.
One volume a year, and each is dedicated to a unique theme of intimacy.
Volume I focused on intimacy and art. Volume II looked at food and intimacy. Each new issue expands intimacy through another lens.
We publish only in print, so it can be held, lingered over, and kept. It’s available on our site and through select independent bookstores and retailers.
The publication is one of our cultural pillars. Together with our product and events, it completes a trilogy of touch, thought, and community.
Where others separate culture, desire, and beauty, we place intimacy at the center and show how it threads them all together.
Yes, if you’re curious about intimacy in all its forms and drawn to art, culture, and beauty, this publication is for you.
