Design studio Nina + Co helps with designing the new London store location of MONC Eyewear located in Marylebone. The brand sells eyewear that is made from bio-acetate, which is a material that is produced entirely without fossil fuels for a sustainable touch. These are also carefully packaged in recycled leather cases and compostable cornstarch foam for a cyclical design. When entering the space, it features corrugated panels of cornstarch foam for a textural look.
The studio talks about the new space and concept, stating that "Circularity was key. Almost everything we brought into that building was entirely bio-based or recycled. The furniture is expertly built to last but can be disassembled for re-use, recycling or return to the earth as nourishment."
