Monocle Magazine Issue No. 174

If there’s one thing to know about Monocle, it’s that they’ve got both depth and range, covering everything from…
geopolitics to groovy shopping destinations. Founder Tyler Brûlé also started iconic style magazine Wallpaper* and did stints at the Financial Times and BBC Four, so you know both sides of the brain are covered in great detail. Issue No. 174, in their words: “We report from Basel, Carthage, Paris, Tokyo and beyond to find out precisely what it takes to make it onto the winners’ podium, regardless of your chosen field. We profile the designers crafting the future, from the brains behind Danish electronics company Bang & Olufsen to an Italian expat spearheading Mallorca’s creative rebirth. We also meet the rising stars of the Venice Art Biennale and the Olympians going for gold at Paris 2024 – as well as the mayor working to ensure that the Games will bring lasting change to the French capital. Elsewhere, we tour the Luxembourg freeport, survey key global-affairs flashpoints and go behind the scenes at Chanel with its president of fashion, Bruno Pavlovsky.”
