Monocle Launches Kioskafé in London
A response to the “mistaken narrative that people aren’t buying print products.”



Monocle has opened a brand new retail endeavor in response to the “mistaken narrative that people aren’t buying print products”: a newsstand and coffee bar called Kioskafé in London. Home to a wooden coffee bar designed by EDM architects, Kioskafé features everything from Allpress coffee and snacks to a selection of premium goods catering — like the publication itself — to the modern day traveler. Said Monocle’s editor-in-chief, Tyler Brûlé, of the endeavor:
We want Kioskafé to be a celebration of print — putting the written word, fine images and crisp paper center stage. We’ve worked hard to make the selection of titles on the shelves a mix of the much-loved and commercial, combined with just-launched indies that get shelf space not because they’re new and hyped, but because they offer journalistic value.
