Made with care
Got a civic project that not only needs to look smart but also have people’s best interests at heart? You need a Dutch architect.
The vision thing
From a state-of-the-art concert hall to an international court and the murkiest waters of diplomacy, we meet the leaders who trust their instincts in tricky times.
Step into my office
As open-plan offices and hot-desking erode the personal workspace, we visit architects, ambassadors and creatives worldwide to celebrate the desk as sanctuary, status symbol and creative engine.
Theatre of the absurd
From Christian radio to the first televised breasts, VPRO has navigated an obscure path to become a broadcaster with a clear vision of adventure, surrealism and optimism in its programming.
Food & drink
The best places to eat in SantaMonica, new openings in Amsterdam, London and LosAngeles and artisanal cheese from Singapore.
Fun of the fair
New York’s art-world innovator Independent is taking its idiosyncratic style to Brussels. We ask some key figures what makes it special.
Emerging patterns
Shops and stylists, tailors and tracht: welcome to Monocle’s worldwide wardrobe of fashion-forward folk to keep an eye on.
Talking shop
From an iconic US brand to Dutch teaching that’s second to ‘nun’, we present our guide to multilingualism.
Tomorrow’s world
From a museum on the move to an Egyptian on a mission, we present the people, organisations and issues set to shape 2017 and beyond.
