OUR
APPROACH
APPROACH
We’ve long held the mantra of ‘you have to be in the world to design for it’. Witnessing the ebb and flow of socio-cultural appetites. Understanding the nuances of how different people in different phases of life spend their days. We can’t design for ourselves every time; we need to have capacity to give time to get under the skin of the challenges being faced.
(KNOWLEDGE)
Knowing when, where and how to ask the right questions is the cornerstone for all of our projects. A natural curiosity paired with a want to interrogate mediums, practices and boundaries is the sweet spot. Our research-driven approach relies on our ability to clearly communicate the desired outcomes and deciphering a route to get there.
(HANDS ON)
Being hands-on with our projects enables us to deeply engage with materials, uncovering their unique characteristics and possibilities. For example, working directly with clay plaster allows us to explore its texture, breathability, and ability to create warm, tactile finishes in interior spaces. Designing and making objects ourselves, such as furniture, lets us experiment with proportions, functionality, and form, refining each piece through trial and error.
(CIRCULAR ECONOMIES)
Repurposing materials, like salvaged timber or reclaimed aluminium, becomes an act of exploration — testing how these elements can be reimagined in new contexts while retaining their inherent character. This hands-on approach not only fosters innovation but also ensures that each project remains authentic, grounded in craftsmanship, and reflective of our commitment to sustainable and thoughtful design. Through this process, we create spaces and objects that are not only visually compelling but also imbued with a sense of purpose and narrative, shaped by the materials and the making process itself.
