Monos

“Mono no aware” – the profound appreciation of the beauty in fleeting moments holds true to the Monos ethos

Travel accessories and luggage brand Monos believes that exploration is the key to growth, learning and relaxation. Their collection of premium travel cases are for mindful wanders. On Ossington Avenue, this point of view has been integrated into every nook and cranny of the brand’s second retail location in Canada. Designed in collaboration with established interior and concept design studio Ste Marie, the shop’s interior is influenced by a gentle surrealist interpretation of Portugal’s pousadas, evoking a dreamlike quality through its soft, sweeping forms and carefully curated material palette.

“At Monos, we pride ourselves on connecting humanity with the simplicity of nature through our design ethos. Our collaboration with Ste Marie to transform the Ossington store into an immersive space is truly special,” says Hubert Chan, Chief Creative Officer and Co-Founder at Monos.
