December 10th, 2007 Monocle Magazine :: Recently Launched

A few months back, our friend Matthew from Suite told us about the launch of a great new magazine called Monocle. Since then we have been seeing it pop us in numerous places and all with great fanfare. Perhaps it’s that the publication melds the the business and design world (think of cross pollinating The Economist, Dwell, Wallpaper* and Wired) or that it had a great layout covering topics A,B,C,D,and E (Arts, Business, Culture, Design and Editorial), but whatever the case take a second to see what Monocle has to offer. While the cover price is a little steep, the production quality is amazing, and, quite frankly, if you cant find something you are interested in, then…well…there is always Star magazine.

“Launched in February 2007, Monocle is a global briefing covering international affairs, business, culture and design. Headquartered in London with bureaux in Tokyo, Sydney, Zürich and New York, Monocle appears 10 times a year in print and is updated constantly at monocle.com. Developed for an international audience hungry for information across a variety of sectors, Monocle’s team of award-winning editors and correspondents have been drawn from The New York Times, The Independent on Sunday, the BBC, CBC and a host of other news and current affairs outlets. More of a book than a magazine, Monocle’s designed to be highly portable (it’s lightweight and compact) and collectable (it’s thick and robust). On-line, the focus is on broadcasting with a wide array of films, slide shows and audio reports. Edited by Wallpaper* founder and International Herald Tribune columnist Tyler Brûlé, Monocle offers a comprehensive global briefing under a single editorial brand. In print and online, writers and photographers are dispatched to over 50 countries every issue to deliver stories on forgotten states, alluring political figures, emerging brands, fresh forces in popular culture and inspiring design solutions.”
