DESIGN PHILOSOPHY
It’s all about the feeling,
That moment when my fingers touch,
When hands explore,
Sensing the tests of texture and form.
The body, alive, delights
In something soft, soothing,
Satisfying, welcoming calm.
Often it’s the little things
(That are really so vast)—
The thickness of a glass,
The curve of an object,
Or the way you sit in a chair
Thoughtfully made, designed just right.
Everything is born from this feeling,
The truest language we speak—
The most essential art we know.
- Mikaela
“We have always been drawn to simplicity and strive to peel away as many layers as possible in our design. There is often a great deal of work and thought behind the stripped-down, but when we discover it, I experience incredible satisfaction. We want simplicity to evoke something in people. We envision rooms/objects dancing a graceful dance with individuals, inviting them into a warm aesthetic with honest craftsmanship. There is a challenge in transforming the simple into something magnificent without appearing boastful, which is always our goal. We would like to label our design as something akin to 'elegant functionalism,' with a constant pursuit of sustainability and high quality, where spaces and objects seamlessly integrate with their surroundings and lasts a lot longer than one lifetime. Looking back at history, we draw inspiration from architects/designers such as Axel Einar Hjort, Alvar Aalto, Ralph Erskine, and Donald Judd. And aim to carry forward their design ethos and history, but with a slightly more feminine brutalism. We aspire to inspire and invite a more conscious existence, where we become more caring towards everything we surround ourselves with, fostering a sense of greater tranquility for individuals.
