The Monos studio is based in British Columbia, where the natural beauty of their surroundings inspired their design. They studied the ripples in water when it rained, and observed the colour gradations in the sky when the sun rose and set each day, and in all these moments, they found a common visual rhythm. They distilled this rhythm into a minimalist, asymmetric progression of lines, and offset it with a confident use of negative space. Balanced with a bold circular nameplate, the result is an unapologetically modern design that embodies simplicity and artful asymmetry.

Monos is an independent Canadian studio creating thoughtfully designed, premium travel goods at an honest price. Founded in 2018, it is also a multidisciplinary collective of creators – brought together by shared philosophies on travel and creativity, and united by a collective love of the journey.
