MONITOR—a studio journal by Not
Monitor is our journal. A space for the things that shape how we think, what we notice, and where we’re heading next.
It’s part moodboard, part observation, part open-ended thought. Early sparks live here, before they become decks, designs or direction.
As a team, we’re highly visual, but we care just as much about the thinking underneath it all. Monitor is where those two instincts come together.
A place for references, realisations and rethinks. Some fleeting. Some foundational. All part of the process.
NOTED 01 - H.Lorenzo, Los Angeles
Forty years ago Lorenzo Hadar was flying rare European pieces into Los Angeles in suitcases. The suitcases became a shop, the shop became an institution, and the institution has just had its interior rebuilt by Studio O, an Italian practice with a taste for raw, Japanese-leaning materials.
The result is 9,000 square feet inside a low-rise 1950s building: sleek without trying, expensive without saying so.
