each material has inherited quality. soft and hard. smooth and rough. cold and warm. light and heavy. we like to bring its quality forward in our products. none comes with a perfectly straight line or is perfectly symmetrical. none is identical to each other. our products are individuals. they have their unique personality. it feels more natural. their imperfections make us feel closer, and we see our reflection.

we touch and feel the materials we use for our products. we hope you feel the same desire to touch our products and feel their qualities and personalities.

there is an emotional quality we can provide through our products beyond their functionality. maybe that is a sense of ownership or a sense of belonging. we think that is beautiful.

our design approach is a process of reduction. we focus on the main concept and message that we want to express. a singular movement to carry a singular message.

all fixtures are designed and handcrafted with care and love in Los Angeles, CA.
