SANTI is an independent magazine and creative platform exploring interiors, travel, design and culture through the idea of atmosphere.
We are interested in the places that stay with you.
A hotel room with the right light. A restaurant that feels completely of its city. A home shaped by years rather than trends. An object with a story behind it. The people who create these spaces, and the way they make us feel.
SANTI exists to document those things.
THE MAGAZINE
Each issue of SANTI begins with a theme and follows it across places, people and ideas.
Our first issue, The Art of Escape, looks at the spaces and experiences that allow us to step outside the pace of everyday life.
Through original photography, interviews, essays and travel stories, we explore interiors not simply as decoration, but as part of a much wider cultural conversation.
Architecture, hospitality, craft, food, objects, landscape and people all have a place within SANTI.
What connects them is atmosphere.
MADE IN THE FIELD
We believe the best stories rarely begin behind a desk.
SANTI is built through travel, conversations and being physically present in the places we feature.
We stay there.
We walk the streets around them.
We speak to the people behind them.
We photograph the details that might otherwise be missed.
That approach shapes both the magazine and our digital stories.
Rather than reporting on a place from a distance, we want to understand what gives it its character.
OUR POINT OF VIEW
There is already more than enough content in the world.
SANTI is not interested in adding to the noise for the sake of it.
We are interested in slower stories, strong visual identities and places that have something genuine to say.
We favour character over perfection.
Independent thinking over trends.
And atmosphere over spectacle.
Sometimes that means a grand hotel.
Sometimes it means a small restaurant, a workshop, a family home or an object made by hand.
The scale matters less than the feeling.
THE PEOPLE BEHIND SANTI
SANTI was founded by Raffaele Okyere and Courtney Spicer.
What began as a shared interest in interiors and objects gradually became something broader: a desire to document the places, people and ideas that shape how we experience the world around us.
Raffaele leads SANTI's direction, operations, partnerships and editorial development.
Courtney Spicer leads its visual world, creative direction and content.
Together, we travel, photograph, interview, write and shape each SANTI story from beginning to end.
We are building SANTI independently, one issue and one journey at a time.
BEYOND THE PAGE
SANTI lives across print and digital, but the magazine is only one part of the world we are creating.
Alongside our issues, SANTI includes:
- Original online editorial
- Letters from the Field
- Travel and hospitality stories
- Interviews with designers, makers and creatives
- Member-only content and editions
- Selected objects through Shop the Atmosphere
- Creative partnerships and special projects
Everything sits within the same idea:
to pay closer attention to the spaces, places and objects that make life feel different.
WORK WITH SANTI
We collaborate selectively with hotels, restaurants, designers, makers, destinations and brands whose work feels relevant to the SANTI world.
That may take the form of editorial features, advertising, creative campaigns, photography, travel stories or special projects.
