The transformation towards a more-than-human and sustainable economy — one that meets the social foundation without exceeding the ecological ceiling. That is our vision, and the vision of many people walking together in that direction. If you’re walking that way too, this is your space.

Monnou is a distributed strategic design studio dedicated to addressing complex challenges: the ones that are difficult not only to solve, but even to define. The ones that require rigour and method, but also sensitivity and creativity. The ones that involve multiple stakeholders who aren’t always easy to bring together.

Our name comes from the Valencian món nou — new world. We work as a network: for each project, we activate the right experts, researchers and creatives for the challenge. We are not a conventional consultancy — we are the node that makes possible projects that wouldn’t happen alone.

Our approach

Principles and methodology

  • Ethics & Sustainability

    We place ethics and sustainability at the centre of every decision, as a design criterion. This means evaluating the real impact of each project, and accompanying organisations aligned with this vision beyond regulatory compliance towards genuine transformation.

  • Methodological rigor & research

    Our own methodology, Creative Regeneration, developed through practice and academic research together with the Universitat Politècnica de València — published in The International Journal of Designed Objects (2026) — integrates three phases of work: strategic exploration of context, organisational activation, and design of tangible solutions. A continuous, non-linear process oriented towards real impact.

  • Working as a network

    We work in a distributed way: for each project, we activate a network of experts in strategy, design, research, impact measurement, regulation and many other fields, according to what the challenge requires. Because only through cooperation can we address the challenges of a world in constant change.

  • Experimenting & Challenging

    Complex challenges are not solved with pre-established solutions. That is why prototyping, testing and learning from failure is a structural part of our process. We challenge initial assumptions and validate solutions before scaling. Creativity is not a superficial layer — it is a tool for strategic exploration.

“The most outstanding aspect of Monnou's methodology is that it allows, from a 360º vision, to be aware of the environmental and social impact they have, and consequently take action on it. Their ability to concretize and follow a common thread throughout the process is noteworthy, helping to translate vague ideas into concrete actions”.

Thais Glod · CEO Innobound

"This is the first time I have followed such a complete methodology - it has helped me to organize my mind, clarify concepts and company strategies. Often when you want to grow your project, you first have to become aware of what your project is like. This type of methodology helps you become aware of what your company is like, and if you do it, it will help you grow".

Rosa Martínez · CEO Integrazafatas

"Monnou has a very interesting methodology that makes you analyze your organization from different points of view linked to CSR and sustainability. It serves to establish strategic aspects and to review and set new strategies for improvement".

David Gay · Innovation and Communication Director at ABSOTEC

"Monnou's methodology helps you to materialize the ideas you have for your company with more coherence. It also brings new visions, new possible solutions, new opportunities that you had not seen before. It helps to clarify paths".
