Dubbed “the Architect of Style”, David Monn is well known for orchestrating everything from intimate parties, to noteworthy events, such as the Metropolitan Museum of Art (Costume Institute Ball), the New York Public Library Lions, the Guggenheim Museum, the Metropolitan Opera, the New York City Ballet and the Park Avenue Armory. As a contributing editor to Departure’s magazine, it is his vision to bring beauty to everyday life, inspired by either incandescent or natural source of light. Whether it takes place in a garden, hotel, or at an estate, each David Monn atmosphere subtly appeals to the senses. It is this singular aesthetic – manifested in quality, elegance and simplicity nonpareil – that attracts a clientele from around the world. Monn’s unique point of view draws from an array of artistic endeavors that include designing jewelry, designing interiors, and creating a collection of home fragrances and luxury tabletop items. Each offering is marked by Monn’s signature: a flair for transforming the ordinary into the extraordinary, which is detailed in his book, The Art of Celebrating (Vendome Press, 2016).
