As the clock strikes midnight on 31st December, we usher in not just a new year but a fresh chapter for Essential Journal. This first issue of 2025 is a reflection of what we do best – curating stories that inspire, elevate and set the tone for the year ahead.

From insightful conversations with creatives shaping their industries to considered takes on style, culture and craftsmanship, Issue 76 is about embracing the moment while looking forward. Whether it’s the pursuit of quality, the art of slowing down or the thrill of discovery, we’re here to guide you through another year of essential reading.

Here’s to a year of good taste, sharp thinking and even better company. Welcome to 2025.
