I'm Nick Moniz.
On today's program, we unpack Monocle's September issue.
Leaping through the pages of the magazine's mobility special.
And it's all aboard the Monocle Express.
We share the lessons we've learned in dreaming up the perfect train.
We also meet the duo behind Milan based Objects of by all that.
Coming up on Monocle On Design.
Welcome to today's show.
I'm joined in the studio with Monocle's associate editor, Grace Charlton.
Today we talking transport.
Yeah, we're on the move.
We're on the move with Monaco's September issue which is on newsstands now.
We kind of wanted to do a little bit of a breakdown of some of the stories that appear in the issue and just kind of unpack things a little bit.
So we're going to dive in.
We had Petri Birts off report for us in Helsinki and they've just opened a new lounge on the Schengen side of the airport.
I think what's really, really beautiful about it is that they've tapped a local design studio to work on this.
Johanna Legisto, who has created this amazing 440 seat space within the air.
And it's like lots of natural materials, really drawing on the fact that they want to ground it in the place not only in terms of materiality and using finished timber to finish the spaces and finished stone, but also using Finnish designers and their materials in there.
So there's things like Artex's Domus chairs made by Choices Goma bar stool.
