Monocle Opens a Newsstand

by Dan Gould

Monocle magazine has opened up a branded newsstand in Fitzrovia, London. The shop is done up in full Monocle style, offering a clean and stylish way to browse the latest publications. Going forward, the magazine is looking to continue building a network of branded news outlets around the globe.

With speculation running wild over the fate of printed matter, this is an interesting move in favor of it’s future. With environmental impact concerns and production costs rising, along with Monocle’s high end reputation in mind, perhaps it’s a sign that print is going to end up being a luxury item in the future?
