Love, LNR Team
Les Nouveaux Riches (shortened LNR) started in 2019 as a magazine and has since unfolded a cosmos that embeds art in a fresh and contemporary environment. Its mission is to report on the international art and culture scene through a multidisciplinary approach. LNR creates, produces, communicates, and experiments with diverse forms of expression that reflect its DNA—from 200-cm-long art scarves to XXL wall calendars. The productions embrace the subtle elegance of lifestyle. LNR is a space for creativity, style, freedom, community, and research. As the ideas and productions evolve over the years, we continue to release daily artist interviews and articles in German and English, just as we envisioned from the very first day.
