The practice draws inspiration and methodologies from the natural world and the realms of geology, chemistry and botany. We work with simple geometries and play with material layers, historical and cultural narratives.

Madison Avenue Jewelry Store
The design approach for this small storefront space on Madison Avenue worked contrary to the common logic of jewelry stores; whereby every surface becomes display here walls were to be left without any ornament. Instead, the main focus is a large wooden box/table with a number of visible and hidden compartments. We took on as a starting point jewelery boxes from Ancient Egypt. The only element in the space, the table is an artifact containing secret compartments and visual delights.
