Twelve stops for Christmas
Pondering where to pick up gifts this year? Let our editors guide you with their pick of the best shops, emporiums and design stores on the most inviting shopping streets around the globe.
Rework it
Renovation can be a delicate balancing act between modern comforts and maintaining historical charm. We visit three European cities where carefully considered restorations are bringing buildings back to their former glory.
Culture
A lease of new life in Kuala Lumpur’s venues, a concrete option for Irish cinema-lovers and the return of a German literary review.
Narrating the world
Monocle meets the men and women who are shaping the news agenda, from influential radio presenters to newspaper editors and television hosts.
Culture
The films, books and bands keeping us entertained this month — and an introduction to a football pundit.
Inventory No. 74
Bikes built from typefaces, native vermouth and monthly socks: our latest edit of designers and makers sweating the details, from Portland workshops to Galician vineyards.
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.
Room with a view
We bring you some of the best places to stay in Italy, including a 16th-century former monastery and a 500-hectare estate in the Tuscan hills. We also introduce you to some fine boatyards.
