Food
This month’s culinary spree includes a Tokyo carpenter-turned-roaster, a French grocer with a literary history and a Japanese deli backed by a fashion label. It’s a world of creative crossovers.

Fuorisalone 2016: Design on display
Running parallel to Milan’s furniture fair, Fuorisalone is a series of citywide events dedicated to design. Monocle Films spotlights the latest products and ideas on exhibit.
Salone del Mobile: Best in show
Salone del Mobile, the furniture world’s premier event, saw record attendance for its 2016 edition in Milan. Monocle Films visited the fair and showrooms throughout the city to discover the highlights.
Making a stand
Beyond the runways and boutiques, Milan's fashion reputation rests on thousands of small manufacturers, family workshops and artisans quietly stitching, cutting and crafting the goods that keep the industry running.
Food
We sample seafood at a one-time grocery store and try mezze at a former 1950s beauty salon that’s now a Turkish taverna. We also wet our whistle with some lively Italian aperitivos.
