Inventory No. 73
Our top picks this month include a set of beer glasses designed to hold the perfect pint, some notable stationery, a sweet British honey range, plus the best of organic cosmetics.
It’s all in the timing
Switzerland’s annual watch fair, Baselworld, posed interesting questions this year. How has China’s economy affected the industry? Are oversized watches still in? And when will ‘smartwatches’ enter the luxury market?
Inventory No. 72
This month, we fancy some new shoes, a set of sakés and a survival kit plus we put the spotlight on Wästberg’s copper desk lamp.
Making a show of it
The annual Stockholm Furniture Fair is the place for new design studios to enter the market, alongside established brands – and, unusually, those somewhere in between.
Inventory No. 71
We’ve continued this issue’s Italian theme for this month’s Inventory, with a pasta maker, a coffee machine, perfume and grappa all on our wishlist.
Sign language
As a country renowned for taste and style it is little surprise that Italy’s brands have such a strong aesthetic identity. Monocle delves into the nation’s visual history and charts its most striking logos.
Inventory No. 70
This month we bring you an embroidered badge set, a colour-coordinated range of sake, an astronomical children’s book and a hand-cranked coffee grinder that will please the purists.
Design/architecture
New projects and products, an interview with Adelaide design outfit JamFactory and an account of living in a piece of architectural history.
