Helen

A few years ago, I attended an interview for a job at the Monocle Café . Helen was one of the company’s board members and interviewer at Monocle’s HQ. When leaving the office, I wasn’t sure whether I got this job but had a feeling that we may become friends.
Helen is such character. And her life could be a screenplay for a good movie. (I’m NOT kidding). As Executive Assistant to Monocle’s chairman, to watch her calmly coordinating an international brand and being supportive to the team was a great lesson to learn.

Helen and myself are no longer working for Monocle, but I have a pleasure of meeting her occasionally and have an epic time together. That’s what meeting friends are for, right?

Three colours

 All of them in pleasant tones. Looking rather handsome. Although each Guide was published separately, placed together on the book shelf, or decorating your coffee table, the Monocle series  of these books look as interesting as their contents. Invented by Tyler Brûlé – a big believer in the  printed paper, and Andrew Tuck, editor of the magazine; this trilogy is a tasteful guidance of easy style and how to master life’s details. Why quality is above quantity and how to make a difference when it comes to making success in business.
Books that won’t go out of fashion. Pardon me, style.
