Design
Be it furniture in the Czech Republic or a sauna in Finland (of all places), we’ve sought out some gems.
Standing on solid ground
The Czech town of Zlin was transformed by a visionary shoemaker who wanted to house his workers in a garden city. We explore his functionalist masterpiece.
Inventory N°96
We bring you up-to-the-minute timepieces, slick storage solutions and snazzy bottles that will stand out from the crowd in any drinks cabinet.
Craft: Make it big
From Detroit to Frankfurt and Sagamihara, three makers demonstrate how having a vision, the confidence to follow it through and the ability to adapt can pay huge dividends for entrepreneurs.
Masters of glass
The small Venetian island of Murano has a grand glass-blowing reputation. In the glow of the furnaces, Monocle Films witnesses a new generation of designers at work.
Leipzig’s artist studios
Dubbed the new Berlin, Leipzig is home to an increasing number of galleries and project spaces – but the city still has lots of space for inexpensive artists’ ateliers.
Fashion
Here comes the sun thanks to our choice selection of sunglasses, shirts and swimshorts.
Dips at dusk
A long, languorous swim is tranquil, but a dip at nightfall is more soothing still. We visit Iceland, Australia and France to take starlit swims in some of the world’s finest pools.
Push the boat out
When the sun shines on Genoa, its well-dressed residents come out in force. Join the sun-kissed crew on the waterfront or head into town for a sundowner in a crisp white shirt.
