FIRST Magazine, the March edition. Out this Sunday 29 March<\/p>\n
FIRST unveils its March edition with a cover that reflects the issue’s central theme: Eudaimonia, the pursuit of a life shaped by purpose, excellence and considered living.<\/p>\n
The cover features the Claude Monet Garden of Impressionism at Kagran School Gardens in Vienna, a contemporary homage to Monet’s garden at Giverny. Overlaid with the word Eudaimonia and accompanied by Aristotle’s reflection from The Nicomachean Ethics, the image sets the tone for an edition devoted to the art of living well, beauty, intention and cultivated experience. This edition of FIRST brings together travel, interiors, culture, gastronomy and financial insight, offering a curated selection of articles featuring ideas, places and practices that elevate modern life.<\/p>\n
