Monocle

The Monocle Travel Guide, Stockholm

£15

Stockholm has a world-leading design scene, picture-book palaces and an enviable berth in the waters of an idyllic archipelago – so to say that it’s an easy city to fall for sounds a little trite.

Hasami

Small mug set

£45

Hasami’s highly specialised workforce, based in the town of Hasami in Nagasaki, is the perfect match for Monocle thanks to its attention to detail and consistent standards of excellence. This small set of cups and saucers from the Japanese ceramicist remains a perfect example of the level of craftsmanship it applies to all of its products.
