Monocle Design Directory, Issue 1 Magazine

The premiere issue of Monocle’s ‘Design Directory’ is out now. We spotlight creative communities around the globe, take an inside look at contemporary Mexican residences and report on the 20th-century Catalan furniture designers finally getting the attention that they deserve. From picking up tools at a Pennsylvanian trade school that is teaching the next generation of makers to sitting down with leading designers on their sofas, we take a tour of the world’s top talent. Plus: An international directory of the studios that should be on everyone’s radar.
