The most melancholic magazine appropriately hails from Finland. Kasino A4 magazine has its own distinctive voice and look, and since its launch in 2005 it has tackled themes of our times with a cutting-edge attitude, never bowing down to fleeting fads. The ever-witty Kasino A4 refreshes like an inspiring, lovingly made, slow food meal in the midst of the monotonous glut of junk food media. The design is strict, the texts personal and the photography sets the overall tone, focusing on people and mood. Kasino A4 was picked as one of the world's top ten independent style magazines in 2008.
