Monocle May 2024 #173

Seeking inspiration for your home or company’s workplace? Maybe you’re after a radio with buttons of just the right size or even a reimagined fire extinguisher. Monocle’s Design Awards celebrate the year’s best products, models and structures, championing ideas that go well beyond the ordinary. Read more in our May issue, which also finds our correspondents on the ground at property fair Mipim, in ‘India’s Silicon Valley’ and propping up a bar in Lisbon. Plus: books, recommended by leaders in their field.

Monocle magazine was launched in 2007 to provide a briefing on global affairs, business, culture, design and much more. We believed that there was a globally minded audience of readers who were hungry for opportunities and experiences beyond their national borders. Today, Monocle is published 10 times a year out of our HQs at Midori House and Dufourstrasse 90 in Zürich, and we now sell more than 80,000 copies per issue and have 24,000 subscribers and growing.
