MONO ONLINE SHOP
Why shop here?
One look at Petro Vivier's Scandi-inspired store answers the question. Vivier founded the store when she and her family moved and sold all their furniture. They decided to start from scratch - with only Scandinavian-inspired pieces - and ended up making much of it themselves.
They now sell many of the items, using local suppliers for their products and raw materials. The best part? All the styling and photography for the site is done in their home.
Hot buy: The super sleek birch plywood peg board, R900.
