An office that feels more like a home than a traditional workspace, the new Monos headquarters in Vancouver infuses a creative space with residential comfort.
Premium luggage brand Monos follows the principles of mindfulness and simplicity to create timeless, well-designed pieces that make traveling easier and more comfortable. For the company’s headquarters in Vancouver, Canada, interior design studio Ste Marie reimagined the office areas as welcoming spaces that look and feel more like a cozy apartment than a workplace.
The project explores the idea of bringing residential comfort to the office, effectively transforming a traditionally sterile and cold environment into a warm, social and adaptable space. At the center, a custom table connects the open-plan area, providing the perfect place for work, product development, meetings, events, and dining.
A carefully chosen range of furniture and accessories reinforces the feeling of a lived-in home. Softly rounded sofas and armchairs surround coffee tables; minimalist pendant lights and floor lamps brighten the space with a gentle glow, changing the atmosphere as needed with dimmable bulbs. Rugs made of natural fibers, wooden tables, and timber millwork infuse the interior with extra warmth while sculptural vases create eye-catching accents here and there.
While focused on the social aspects of work, bringing people together, the interiors also feature more intimate areas, including a tea room. Finally, Ste Marie designed the Monos HQ with a flexible layout that adapts to changing needs with ease. Photography by Conrad Brown.
