Monolith Launches Their Debut Collection: Sanctuary

Mexico City’s Zona Maco was the setting for the launch of Monolith’s inaugural collection, Sanctuary. Shown against the backdrop of Campos Polanco, the series includes nine home decor designs crafted from stone and wood. Three of the pieces are exclusives for the brand designed by London-based architect Benni Allan and Paris-based design duo Studio Le Cann. Sculptural forms and soft curves abound, lending both function and form to Sanctuary. The limited edition pieces are made from locally-sourced Jalapa Travertine, Recinto Negro, White Oak, and Walnut.

Monolith, founded in 2022 by Marc Personick, leans on solid lines and heavy proportions to put the focus of each piece on the natural beauty of its materials. The New York City-based studio collaborates with international architects and designers, hand-producing work with local artisans in Mexico City and New York.
