Who makes an object matters more than the object itself
The 2026 Monocle Design Awards overturn a century-old dogma. Design no longer lives in the object; it lives in the people who make it, in the places where they make it, and in the community that makes it possible. Six continents, seventeen countries, twenty-five awards, and a single lesson that changes how we choose every object for the home.

Where the camera stood: another way to travel

From Davinotti in Italy to ReelStreets in the United Kingdom, and from L2TC in France to Scouting NY, these tools suggest a different way to plan a trip: a few stops, chosen shot by shot, and observed with the eye of someone who notices the details.
