Homeware Top 25
For Monocle’s Homeware Top 25 we present our round-up of the simply designed and yet endlessly useful things – from coat hooks to ceramics and cooking utensils to kettles – that make a home…
Retail special: stationery shops
A new generation of stationery entrepreneurs is preserving and reviving the art of writing. Monocle Films travels to Prague, Vancouver and London to visit three shops that share a love of paper.
Blooms or Bust
Tokyo’s Tsukiji fish market might be a must-see for tourists but the Japanese capital’s flower market is also that rare thing – a place of beauty and big business.
High street revival
If the atmosphere at the EuroShop trade fair was anything to go by, the death of bricks-and-mortar retail has been greatly exaggerated. Shops are rising to the challenge of their online usurpers.
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.
King of the mall
The 42-year-old motorbike-riding CEO of one of Brazil’s biggest shopping empires tells Monocle how he runs such a huge company while staying true to his family ethos.
Fashion city: Vancouver
Local fashion shops and brands are on the rise in Vancouver and offering creative alternatives to fleece and rubber boots. Monocle Films pays a visit to the retailers pushing style in the city.
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.
