On Monocle’s wish list this month are crockery where the clay is the star, eco detergents that really work and waste bins you’ll actually want to handle.
Power to the pedal
Economic and ecological forces are driving a change in transport, with two-wheeled options on the rise. At Europe's largest trade show, the buzz around electric bikes is causing a stir among traditionalists.
Business
A new airline that aims to turn Tibet into a Chinese transport hub, an entrepreneur with an antique printing press, and a new type of contract lens that's a sight for sore eyes.
Second life
While many post-industrial towns languish, Pittsburgh is bucking the trend. Monocle visits its thriving East Liberty neighbourhood to see how the city is becoming a major hi-tech hub and Silicon Valley alternative.
Americas

Business
An indian energy start-up, an African hotel group and a Turkish taxi designer, plus other companies making waves this month.
Bright young Finns
As Nokia takes part of its software development abroad, a new generation of Finnish entrepreneurs is waiting to fill the gap – as long as they get the chance.
Media/Art
A gallery in Istanbul, a radio for rock star and a Q&A with New-York based art collector Henry Buhl.
