    Bookshelf: The Monocle Guide to Better Living

     Monocle is one of the most successful magazines to be developed in the past years. Led by editor-in-chef Tyler Brûlé, the magazine inspires a global readership who are interested in everything, from diplomacy to business and design.

    After a year in the making, Monocle has just published its first book ever – The Monocle Guide to Better Living. Structured into chapters on cities, style, culture, travel, food, and business, the guide also includes essays that explore different topics – from what makes a great city to how to run your own business.

    The Guide carries the beautiful aesthetics of the magazine and features great photography, illustrations and writing by contributors from around the world. Just a short flip through the guide will give you a tonne of inspiration and ideas. Definitely worth having a read.

  • Bookshelf: Sometimes Always

    Bookshelf: Sometimes Always

    Sometimes Always is a multidisciplinary and independent project run by London-based Gabriel Finotti. On its website, Sometimes Always  is described as a “partial report of a generation made from the perspective of individuals who somehow belong to it and share the same doubts and anxieties.”

    The online platform publishes bilingual content (English and Portuguese) divided into different categories but with similar ideology and perceptions. Sometimes Always is also present offline with multiple projects like zines, posters and events.

    Gabriel sent us the two of their latest publications, “Fui Pra Israel E Curti Demais” and “Montarias Altamente Perigosas”.  You can find more information about Sometimes Always’ projects on:  www.sometimes-always.com

    If you’re looking for other exciting art projects going on right now, look into Marandi and the exciting work he’s doing with Watercolour preservation.

  • One Question Interview: Derek Fernandes

    Derek Fernandes is a photographer and architecture student living in São Paulo, Brazil. We’ve been following Derek’s photographs for a while now, and we really like his vision and how he captures all his moments with film cameras. 

    We asked Derek about what makes him want to take photos and what he enjoys the most about the process.

    “Whenever I shoot, the most important for me is to show that I have a deep feeling about what is being photographed. I don’t like to direct people in my portraits, what I like most is to win their confidence and make them show their sensitive side. It is this mutual sensitivity what my work is based on.”
