Modern Monclaire is an independent publication for women who think carefully about what they own and how they live.

We don't accept advertising. We don't take commissions. Our recommendations are ours alone.

We publish five formats:

The Dossier — Comprehensive investigations into single objects. Origins, craft, and our honest verdict on whether they merit your attention.

The Edit — Essays on taste, culture, and the real questions behind how we live now.

The Guide — What meets our standard, what doesn't, and why.

The Letter — Direct commentary on culture, when there's something that needs to be said.

The Brief — Essays on what can only be lived through. The architecture beneath the experience.

This is not a place to skim. We write at length because the subjects deserve it — and because you deserve more than a list.

If you'd like to stay, The Reading Room arrives by email when there's something worth saying.

Welcome. Take your time.
