Monocle’s autumn design bonanza profiles the best new chairs, tables and accessories available this season, interviews architectural luminaries including Renzo Piano, and hits the road in Czechia to meet the makers forging a new gold standard in craft. We also assess France’s waning influence in Africa and unlock the secrets of the world’s safest safes.

Published out of London, Monocle was launched as a magazine briefing on global affairs, business, culture, design and much more in 2007.
