TO HELP BRING…

their new boutique to life, Monk drew upon their love for emerging talent, to tap local design firm Flack Studio. Monk’s brief was a simple one, carry over the amiable atmosphere of their Brunswick East shop to create a more urban, minimal interior with maximal function.

WORKING IN…

synergy with the site’s innately charming details, Flack balanced ornate columns and cornices with an edited selection of clean lined, yet impactful, pieces – navigating strict preservation rules with an emphasis on free-standing elements and lighting attached to furnishings. In the end, the results landed spot on brand… maybe small, but oh so big.
