Noura is the founder, designer, and maker behind Mono & Lena and is driven by the values of low environmental impact, supporting the local economy, and creating long-lasting products. She carefully chooses materials and suppliers that align with her brand's values, ensuring minimal waste, and reusing filtered wastewater. Her packaging is 100% plastic-free, made from reused, recycled, recyclable, or biodegradable materials. By sourcing materials locally, Noura reduces CO2 emissions and supports small businesses. Her designs, hand-cast in her Kent home studio, focus on clean aesthetics and functionality rather than trends, and she uses durable, impact-resistant Jesmonite to craft unique, high-quality pieces that last.
