The Monocle Shop and Café is set to open at 74 Jalan Kelabu Asap in residential neighbourhood Chip Bee Gardens on Dec. 20.
The store is a first Singapore outpost for the cult favourite lifestyle magazine brand, which already has branches in New York, London, Toronto, Hong Kong and Tokyo.
Occupying a two storey townhouse built in the 1950s, the cosy space comprises a retail shop offering the brand’s well known design collabs—think perfumes by Comme des Garcons ($140) and ceramic sets by Kihara ($110)—plus, a drink counter serving Allpress coffee (from $4), fresh orange juice ($5) and Antipodes water ($6).
Upstairs is the office where they’ll start the Singapore bureau and a radio station early next year.
