A unique collaboration launching Spring 2025, Monaco’s premium water brand Monacqua joins forces with contemporary master George Condo, making his art accessible to all through beautifully designed, limited-edition bottles. In an unprecedented move, pricing remains unchanged—so everyone, not just collectors, can experience his vibrant work.

This initiative marries sustainability, culture, and charity. At year’s end, a select number of George Condo–signed bottles will be auctioned by famed curator and ex-Sotheby’s Europe Chairman Simon de Pury, with 100% of proceeds supporting the Princess Grace Foundation, dedicated to helping children in need.

“Art is the water our souls are yearning for, and Monacqua is the water our bodies crave…. a love story between the artist and the Principality of Monaco,”
— Simon de Pury

George Condo & Monaco – A Creative Bond Through Time

American-born in 1957 and raised with artistic encouragement, George Condo made his mark alongside icons like Warhol and Basquiat in the 1980s. His bond with Monaco runs deep—royal friendships and landmark collaborations shape his legacy:

• In 1998, Condo designed a celebrated stage curtain for Ballets de Monte‑Carlo, commissioned by HRH Princess of Hanover.
• He returned in 2000 to create costumes and set design for Opus 40, praised for seamlessly blending visual art and dance.
• His latest solo show, “Humanoids” (2023), premiered at Villa Paloma, curated by Pompidou’s Didier Ottinger.
• A major retrospective is set to open at Paris’s Musée d’Art Moderne in October 2025.

Monacqua – Monaco’s Sustainable Mineral Water

Founded in 2022 by Geeta Kalwani, Monacqua celebrates mindful consumption through eco-conscious bottled water:

• Originating from ancient European springs with documented history dating back to 400 BC, its pure mineral water is now available in glass and biodegradable paper cartons.
• Named from French “mon” (my) and Italian “acqua” (water), Monacqua embodies Monaco’s cultural identity, drawing on inspiration from Belle Époque aesthetic icons like Mucha.
• The brand’s kaizen philosophy emphasizes gradual improvements—aiming to eliminate 1 million plastic bottles by end-2025 through its innovative packaging.

Monacqua supports environmental, social, and cultural commitments:

• Its cartons are 75% biodegradable and recyclable, cutting down marine plastic—aligning with research from the Prince Albert II Foundation, a champion of Mediterranean conservation.
• A portion of every bottle sold funds the Princess Grace Foundation, aiding paediatric oncology, neonatal incubators, therapeutic programs, and housing for ill children—earning acclaim from Administrative Director Caroline O’Conor for its ethical partnership.
• This art-first mentality is celebrated through the first-of-its-kind George Condo collaboration—blending functional design with everyday luxury.

Elevating Everyday Luxury Through Culture

Monacqua stands out in Monaco for transforming a daily necessity—bottled water—into a vessel for art, sustainability, and charitable impact. By partnering with a world-renowned contemporary figure like George Condo and committing to eco-responsibility and social action, Monacqua encourages all Monaco residents and visitors to make conscious choices that delight the senses and support community.

Sip with purpose—enjoy taste, creativity, and compassion in one bottle.
