Denizen, at its core, is a magazine that uplifts and inspires; celebrates and challenges, and, ultimately, gives rise to New Zealanders doing exceptional things, both here, on home soil, and the world stage. This spring, Kerikeri-based, Hollywood actress Lydia Peckham graces our cover, accompanied by the cover line ‘reawakening’ — a sentiment for which she is the perfect paragon.
Within the pages of this issue, we explore the notion of reawakening our senses. Stepping offline, putting down our phones, slipping our headphones out of our ears and back into their cases, and reconnecting with the innate, intrinsically human parts of ourselves that are being lost to digitalisation. Peckham’s fascinating story of her dichotomic life, much of which is lived on a sprawling plot of native bush in small-town New Zealand (the rest spent filming blockbusters with the likes of Rami Malek and Russell Crowe in Hollywood) sets the tone for our Spring Issue — a magazine filled with endless inspiration to embrace the here and now.

From our exclusive interview with world-renowned Kiwi sailor, Blair Tuke (who, when we speak, is gearing up to take on the 37th America’s Cup in Barcelona), to an illuminating conversation with up-and-coming artist Jamie Te Heuheu, the individuals on these pages serve as a reminder that there’s a world to be lived offline, and highlight just how much more there is to life than what can be found behind a screen.
We also have a comprehensive guide to the upcoming America’s Cup, and, as always, an all-encompassing overview of the trends worth knowing. From design to fashion, wellbeing, gastronomy, travel, and more, we round up the new and noteworthy pieces to add to your homes and wardrobes, the corners of culture worth exploring, and the destinations worth visiting this spring.
Ultimately, this inspiring new issue is an invitation to stop and smell the roses. We think you’ll be surprised at what happens if you do.
