Monocle, November 2026

Not the Harvard-produced satire of the ’60s, Monocle reports the parts of international affairs, policy, culture and social trends that are relevant to people also interested in furniture design, exotic travel and development theory. If this is you, then you’ve just found a new reason to get up in the morning. Newly created by the same team originally responsible for Wallpaper*, reading Monocle will make yourself more interesting. A cosmopolitan internationalist look at the world – a magazine for the thinking person.

In this issue:

Get up to speed with the fast-changing world of transport with Monocle’s bumper November issue – our Mobility & Design Special. We explore what’s moving in the mobility industry and join designers and architects in their favourite buildings. We meet the Filipino cadets who are training to man the global shipping industry; peruse a new wave of galleries in Taiwan; get a preview of Iraq’s cinematic revival; feel the heat with the Tokyo Fire Department – and more.
