Prime movers
The idea of changing a city for the better might be daunting but individuals with vision and initiative can make a meaningful difference.
Quick smart
A new generation of restaurants is sating customers' hunger for fast, filling bites. We meet three ventures turning tasty takeaways into fine art.
Pastures new
Celebrated chefs throw open their doors in Porto and Tokyo, a hi-fi bar turns things up in Zürich, and a New York restaurateur wins big with a riviera feel.
Phoenix rising Global
As Japanese accents appear in Oslo and Italian touches take root in Tokyo, a familial Lebanese home has been rebuilt following a devastating fire.
Bigger picture
The Jun Group is behind some of Japan’s most inspiring labels. We meet the president of the company selling more than just clothes.
Great lengths
The team behind Berlin's Otto opens a refreshingly unpretentious sister restaurant, serving Austrian comfort food including fried chicken and venison goulash in relaxed moss-green surrounds.
The Opener
Pablo Escobar’s hippos, manhole-cover designs and a fake cemetery in Egypt.
Mix and match
Bookshop chain Tsutaya is adding some design nous to the country’s co-working offering – and an alternative to its rigid office culture.
Purchasing power: Part 1
We celebrate the world of physical retail by visiting the pioneering boutiques, revitalised high streets and customer-facing vendors elevating the in-store experience.
Get your fill
Buenos Aires bakery traditions meet Barcelona's Gràcia neighbourhood, while a British chef brings Tuscan comfort food to Tokyo's financial district.
