MONC (re)considered sustainable eyewear store. London, 21 Chiltern Street.

 

We spent years dreaming of our (re)considered retail space and in November last year, after months of hard work, it finally materialised.

Our goal was to create something thoughtful, impactful and adaptable. A temporary space, circular in it’s sourcing and application of materials, our store was designed with the opposite mindset to traditional retail. Leaving no trace behind, everything in our store can be reused at its next location, disassembled for recycling, or returned to the ground as nourishment.

One year on, and we’re extremely proud to have won Dezeen’s ‘Small Retail Interior of the Year’ award.
