mono.kultur


mono.kultur magazine issue #21 - actress Tilda Swinton
and issue #20 - fashion designer Dries Van Noten only $14 each

mono.kultur - an amazing new magazine out of Berlin... now available at Monk House Design!! Best let them explain a little bit about themselves;

mono.kultur is a new interview magazine from Berlin. Questions and answers. Conversations with the interesting few. In full length and depth, extensive and unfiltered.

mono.kultur deals with art and culture – or rather with the people who make them happen. In the foreground is music, film, literature. And image. And architecture. And media. But behind them is a creative mind.

mono.kultur features one interview per issue, no more no less. Carefully selected and designed. No distractions, no gossip, no trendscouting. Instead we offer opinions, experiences, lives.

mono.kultur appears quarterly. In English for Germany and the rest of the world. Available in selected bookshops across Europe and beyond.
