Profane magazine: French eccentricity and uniqueness
If you are a serial accumulator, a Sunday painter, if you are obsessed with unusual objects or have a secret passion, Profane is what is right for you. An independent French magazine that moves between art and collecting and is characterized by a truly experimental setting. The project has a single interest: the amateur, someone who is both amateur and amateur at the same time.
The first Frab's Secret Mag Party arrives on July 14th

Market cafe in our Secret Mag Club in May
For our Secret Mag Club in May, we selected Market Cafe, the only independent magazine dedicated to the world of data visualization, founded by a duo of Italian information designers, Tiziana Alocci and Piero Zagami
Alea: when anthropology meets magazines
Can we talk about cultural anthropology outside the academic walls? The (affirmative) answer to this question comes to us from Alea, a successful Italian publishing experiment, in its third issue, which adapts the language of anthropology to that of independent magazines.
When the magazine unveils the Urban - May 14, 7pm, Base Milano
On 13 and 14 May we return from BASE Milano with our Pop-Up mag, the Frab's temporary store that brings the best of the Milanese city from our indiemag catalog
Standart: a celebration of the potential of coffee
Reading Standart is like going to your favorite coffee shop and starting a conversation with a stranger that turns out to be unexpectedly pleasant later on. Thanks to its editorial and content care, when you have finished leafing through the magazine, you will feel that its pages smell like freshly brewed coffee.
Market. in our Secret Mag Club in April
Market, the magazine we have selected for the Secret Mag Club of April, shows us that another perspective of Sicily (and territorial magazines!) is possible. Halfway between an independent magazine and a photobook, Suq. Unconventional Sicily, tells us about a land that seems alien as far as it is from the commonplace-sicily that we have in our mind.
Frab's arrives in Milan: inaugurates the Mag da Base pop-up
We are proud and also a little excited to start with a new project that we consider a little the third, important piece of a road that we have already traced a few months ago, that of being there physically as well: Frab's arrives in Milan! Thanks to the collaboration with Base (Via Bergognone, 34), the 23 and 24 April from 10.00 to 20.00 we inaugurate our Pop-Up Mag.
That is, getting excited between the pages of a magazine
The sixth issue of the Fanzine Erotica has just come out, bringing porn back to where it was born about a century ago, in the wonderfully curated pages of a "dirty" magazine. On the occasion of our event in Rome, we interviewed the founder Alice Scornajenghi to let us tell everything about Ossì
What is the meaning of a print magazine today?
It is one of the questions I get asked most often, so I collected the answers that in these almost three years of Frab's I have been given by the many editors we interviewed
Nork Magazine in our February Secret Mag Club
Do not be fooled by the changing colors of this magazine because, among its pages, it transports us to a world of nostalgia and memories. Dedicated to the theme of memory, this sixth edition of Nork is a perfect hybrid between a magazine and a diary of memories that the reader is called upon to compile between one reflection and another.
Text Florence - A great start
We usually write about events we go to just to announce them. For Text we make a well-deserved exception to explain, in retrospect, the meaning of the first edition of this three days dedicated to the books that has left its mark on us. For us it was a different event than usual, but one of the most Frab's events ever
