INSTALLATION DESIGN
We think about our installations as visual, tactile conversations between material and space, weaver and audience, traditional and contemporary. We consider how light hits a woven surface and throws shadow patterns at different times of day, how the rough texture of hand-thrown pottery contrasts with smooth concrete walls, how the scale of a piece changes the entire rhythm of a room.
The relationships we've built with artisans across three continents over the years allow us to design and commission truly unique pieces for our installations. These custom works surprise while feeling completely at home in their new environment.
The resulting installations contain layers of meaning that reveal themselves slowly, creating experiences that linger with visitors long after they leave.
From single focal points to complete spatial narratives, we design installations that honor both craft traditions and the contemporary spaces that house them.
DESIGN CONSULT
Our design philosophy centers on authenticity over perfection. We work with handmade objects, vintage finds, and contemporary pieces to create spaces that feel personal and lived-in from the start.
Our direct relationships with artisans in Ghana, Mexico, and Japan mean we can source pieces that don't exist anywhere else. These become anchor points for rooms where natural materials, rich textures, and carefully chosen neutral tones create depth without feeling overdone.
Our styling creates spaces that feel both considered and effortless—environments where every element contributes to a larger narrative about craft, culture, and the beauty of imperfection.
From refreshing existing spaces to styling new environments from the ground up, we create layered interiors that honor traditional craft while serving contemporary life
RENTAL PROGRAM
Our rental collection features woven sculptures, lighting, basketry, and textiles—all handcrafted by our artisan partners in Ghana, Mexico, and Japan.
These special pieces work particularly well for photo shoots where you need authentic texture and character, events that want to feel warm and considered rather than corporate, or staging projects where handmade pieces add the kind of lived-in quality that helps spaces feel like home.
We offer weekly and monthly rates, and each piece comes with its story—the technique used, the materials, the maker behind it. Whether you need a single sculptural element or want to layer multiple pieces for maximum impact, our rental collection gives you access to work that can't be found anywhere else.
Available for photography, events, staging, and any project where authentic craft makes the difference between ordinary and memorable.
As the creative directors and designers behind Twenty One Tonnes, we have developed a distinctive style over the years.
Our interiors highlight natural materials, rich textures and neutral tones. And they often showcase pieces crafted by hand by a network of traditional artisans with whom we have developed close ties.
We offer a variety of design services including consults, installations, styling, sourcing, and rentals to bring a space or event to life.
We would love to help you create a thoughtful space that brings you joy.
