Monocle — Issue 193, May 2026

The May 2026 issue of Monocle is built around the magazine's annual Design Awards, with a Cairo downtown report and a watch-and-timekeeping special running alongside. Recommendations cover the creative director to watch, the camera to buy and the dining chair to consider; conversations include some of the world's leading designers, architects and chefs on their preferred timepieces.

Founded in London in 2007 by Tyler Brûlé, Monocle remains one of the few monthly titles that takes design, business, foreign affairs and culture seriously inside the same issue. Useful for travel, planning and procrastination in roughly equal measure. UK cover price £10.
