This is Monocle on Design,
a show where we discuss everything from architecture and craft to furniture and graphic design.
I'm Nick Minise.
On today's program,
we've got highlights from the second edition of the Parisian design salon, Matter and Shape.
Plus,
we learn about the brutalist architectural style in Japan
and enjoy a visit to the young VA in London to meet designer Charlie Boyden.
All that coming up on Monocle On Design.
Hello and welcome to today's show.
I'm joined in the studio by Monocle's Grace Charlton.
Bonjour.
I think this is a special Parisian edition.
So, I mean, I'm happy to be here with Nicolas Menis, who is a little bit French, I believe.
A little bit.
A little bit French.
Something like four or five generations ago.
It's a made up surname that sounds French and I think that's important.
And that's probably where we need to leave my family history for today.
