Foreign.
This is Monocle On Design, a show where we discuss everything from architecture and craft to furniture and fashion.
I'm Nick Minece.
On today's program, we look at the year ahead.
I'm joined by some of the Monocle team to preview stories from our special New Year's magazine.
The forecast.
We'll talk the future of French furniture and training the next generation of craftspeople, plus the art of sail making.
All that.
Coming up on Monocle On Design.
To kick off today's show, I'm joined in the studio by Grace Charlton.
And to kick off our first week back at work for 2025, we've both been on holiday in Australia, separate parts of the country.
What's on your mind and your agenda for the year ahead?
It's such a tough one because I've been thinking about this and I love a new start to the.
But it does feel like time is a construct.
Bear with me.
Wow.
And I just.
I'm worried my answer's gonna be a little bit boring.
But just a continuation of what we've already seen and a reinforcement of material understanding and craft and, you know, all that stuff we go on and on about at Monocle.
But I hope just to see more of that in 2025.
