Monocle – Issue 148

Monocle magazine is a global look at current affairs, business, culture and design, with articles on politics and business in Asia, Europe, Africa and the Americas, news on global culture from cultural centres like Tokyo, Paris and London, and featuring inspiring designs. Published 10 times a year and with many fans of it's style and content, Monocle provides a close look at everything going on in the world.

The perfectly formed November issue of Monocle is a design special that puts the brands, architects and products you need to know in the frame. We also visit a Gio Ponti masterwork in Paris and discuss the merits of concrete and its impact on the environment. Plus: bangers in Berlin and why Lisbon is the new Leblon.
