Born from ancient techniques and raised in modern times, MONEA is a furniture and lighting collection from designer Robert McKinley.
The name - his mother’s family’s - is an homage to Robert’s Italian roots, where he discovered the value of quality materials, Italian craftsmanship, and understated elegance. Inspired by this maternal lineage, the first collection is strong, feminine and grounded.
Robert hopes the pieces will be enjoyed not just as decoration, but as pieces that are loved, touched, and often sat on - because true art is found in how we live.
The heart of MONEA beats with a devotion to craftsmanship, to quality materials and to preserving the age-old techniques of hand-hewn construction and fabrication. The passion and rigor these makers have for their craft is infused in every piece of MONEA. Creating soulful artisan objects.
