cwebb's review against another edition

Very nice collection of articles out of the Monocle magazines. Gives you ideas... but as most of the featured homes are basically huge and filled with stuff like Wegner chairs, it will be hard to replicate it. Or just the feel of it: not everyone spends upwards of 3k euros on a chair alone!

Beautifully designed and written, as all Monocle publications are. This has a great set of essays detailing every facet of home life, but I find the shopping guides section (a significant portion of the latter half of the book), is of limited value for those that don’t travel to a different European or Japanese city every weekend. Still, a fun coffee table read for the aspirational.
