Husband and wife team Dean and Cassy Song curate Mōno, a boutique with accessories for the home or office, with a tightly honed eye. A minimalist design aesthetic with touches of wood and splashes of color set the mood, while an open, airy ambiance makes it easy to shop the eclectic housewares and modern gadgets within the space.

The notion to open Mōno emerged while the pair was honeymooning in Japan. Surrounded by the intense devotion that many Japanese merchants take in curating their stores, the idea to open their own store with the same fervent attention to detail began to percolate within the couple. Not soon after, and with no shortage of hard work, Mōno was born.

For first-time Mōno shoppers, Cassy recommends checking out stationery and paper goods from Mark’s Inc., browsing through the unique houseware items from MollaSpace, and picking up a set of animal-themed ceramic mugs from Imm Living.
