Our woven lighting and basketry have become familiar in the design community, but these pieces represent just one aspect of our practice. We also design spatial installations that are rooted in the same philosophy that guides our collection: deep respect for craft, material integrity, and the human hands behind both.
How We Approach Space
We think about our installations as visual, tactile conversations between material and space, weaver and audience, traditional and contemporary. We consider how morning light hits a woven surface and throws shadow patterns across your floor at 9am versus 4pm. We celebrate the contrast of soft organic textures against hard concrete walls. We understand how scale shifts not merely what people see, but the entire rhythm of a room.
These considerations inform every installation we design.
The Advantage of Deep Relationships
The relationships we’ve built with artisans over the years allow us to design and commission truly unique pieces for our installations. These are makers whose hands we know, whose techniques we understand, whose creative capacity we trust. When we design an installation, we can work with existing inventory or commission fresh pieces that surprise while feeling completely at home in their new environment.
A screen woven in a traditional pattern but at architectural scale. A series of woven sculptures that reference local traditions while speaking to contemporary spatial language. We develop these works with artisans who grasp both the technical challenges and the cultural resonance of what we’re creating together.
Installations That Reveal Themselves Slowly
The resulting installations contain layers of meaning that reveal themselves slowly. The material registers first—texture, shadow play, craftsmanship. Later comes the cultural reference, the subtle acoustic transformation a piece brings to a space.
We aim to design experiences that linger with visitors long after they leave, creating spatial memories.
From Focal Points to Full Narratives
From single focal points to complete spatial narratives, we design installations that honor both craft traditions and the contemporary spaces that house them. A single commissioned piece anchoring a restaurant entry. A layered installation guiding people through a hospitality space. A complete spatial narrative for a cultural institution needing to honor both tradition and place.
What remains constant is our commitment to objects shaped by human hands, to pieces carrying stories of the individuals and communities that made them, to craft processes intrinsically lighter on the earth than conventional production.
This is a process that takes time, that respects place and humanity. If that aligns with how you approach design, please get in touch.
