“Our goal was to create a thoughtful and impactful, temporary space that is circular in its sourcing and application of materials, in line with the ethos of the brand. Our new store has been created with the opposite mindset to traditional retail. It’s designed with a (re)considered approach to the in-store experience, where each decision we make is carefully considered for its longevity, impact and circularity.”

When it comes to eyewear, the in-store experience often involves sifting through endless rows of generic glasses stacked on racks of shelves. The store itself and the journey for customers hasn't been considered. It’s usually monotonous and above anything else, it makes buying glasses feel like a chore, something to tick off the list. Customers are sold to, rather than looked after.
For our first store, we wanted to create a space that our community could enjoy. Our customers can come and try on a curated selection of our eyewear, they can learn about us, how we make our products and where they have come from. They can leave knowing that they can always come back and be cared for.
We wanted to create a space where our community could thrive, not just buy glasses.
We reconsider everything in order to reduce our impact on the world around us. We design, craft and repair eyewear with a circular approach. We revisit what exists and redesign with the long-term impact of our decisions always front of mind. Our materials and processes are carefully considered, nothing is wasted.
We repair eyewear, redesign broken systems, recycle and reuse everything we can, rewrite the rules, rethink our processes, retell inspiring stories, revisit our assumptions and in doing so, we reimagine the future.
We're re-framing the eyewear experience, come in and take a look.
This year we are happy to share that from more than 5400 entries across 90 countries, MONC was nominated for two Dezeen Awards and has been voted winner of ‘Small retail interior of the year’. Click below to read their review of our (re)considered retail store.
In an age of uncertainty, nothing is guaranteed. With this in mind, wedesigned our store in such a way that if we were to move, we will leave no trace.

Collaboration for us is all about bringing together different perspectives and learning from one another through viewing challenges from a different angle and combining past experience with new insight.
This is exactly what we had in mind when designing our first store and it's what our store will now be home to. We're going to be holding a series of workshops at our 21 Chiltern St. store, from candle pouring to mycelium growing.
Tickets to our workshops will be exclusive to our newsletter subscribers. So, if you think you'd be interested in joining our workshops, sign up to our newsletter below.
