Canadian interiors studio Ste Marie<\/a> has designed the Vancouver<\/a> headquarters of luggage brand Monos to emphasise simplicity and shift mood throughout the day.<\/p>\n

Located in the city\u2019s Mount Pleasant neighbourhood, the Monos<\/a> office was created to reflect the brand\u2019s development to date and provide space for continued growth.<\/p>\n

Ste Marie<\/a> was presented with an open-ended brief, allowing the studio to develop a \u201cflexible framework\u201d for a company that is \u201cstill exploring what it could become\u201d and would allow its team to collaborate, experiment and host.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

\u201cMonos is a brand grounded in design, mindfulness, human connection, and we understood this as an opportunity to create a place where those values could be put into practice,\u201d said Ste Marie.<\/p>\n

\u201cA place where their people could come together to work, create, exchange ideas, test new things, host events and gather as an extended community.\u201d<\/p>\n

The studio, which previously designed the interiors for a Monos store in Toronto<\/a>, approached the workplace like a residential project and organised the spaces into three overlapping areas.<\/p>\n

\u201cLike an apartment, it accommodates everyday activity as naturally as moments of hosting,\u201d said the studio. \u201cThe residential quality also supports Monos\u2019 culture of openness.\u201d <\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The first area features low, soft modular sofas for lounging and conversation, and enclosed banquettes below conical pendant lights that facilitate personal exchanges, small meetings or shared meals.<\/p>\n

An elongated communal table at the centre of the open plan provides a flexible surface for meetings, product development, testing, dining and gathering.<\/p>\n

Here, the custom millwork is arranged in perpendicular planes that form vertical supports and horizontal overhead light boxes.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

At the back is a kitchen and tea room with solid-surface counters and handleless cabinets, continuing the minimalist schema that runs throughout.<\/p>\n

\u201cThese areas can expand and contract as needed: a meeting can become a meal, a work surface can become a display, and a lounge can transform into an event space,\u201d Ste Marie said.<\/p>\n

The hardness of the polished concrete flooring and rift-cut timber millwork is offset by soft furnishings, natural-fibre rugs and sheer curtains.<\/p>\n

Dimmable lighting enables the mood to shift from early morning focused work to more casual afternoon meetings and then evening events.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe result is a workplace that feels considered but not overly designed, with the warmth and informality of a personal space and the flexibility of a creative studio,\u201d said Ste Marie.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Ste Marie was founded by Craig Stanghetta and has developed a reputation for its cinematic hospitality spaces across North America.<\/p>\n

Other recent projects by the studio include a trio of venues in Edmonton<\/a>, a series of amenity spaces<\/a> within a renovated 1960s tower in Chicago and a Vancouver restaurant<\/a> influenced by Hong Kong\u2019s \u201clove motels\u201d.<\/p>\n
