Looking through a Monocle
Jul 15, 2007 in Media
The Relief of Belsen movie I picked up a copy of fancy-business mag Monocle. It’s the latest project of Tyler Brule (the founder of Wallpaper). According to their site Monocle aims to be “A fresh focus on global affairs, business, culture, design and all you need in life.”
Really, it’s a Wallpaper for the biz-set but interestingly enough, there’s a significant amount of urban design/sustainable transportation. Issue 3 looked at cycling (a story on Taiwanese bikemakers Giant
and how the Dutch do cycling). Issue 5, on newsstands now, has a top 25 list of urban design elements and the Monocle
editors design the perfect street. All quite droolworthy.
