ABOUT
We came together over a love of design, making and upcycling.
There’s a lot of joy in the creation of WELL MADE, HANDCRAFTED pieces and turning unused items into something new.
STUDIO DUOS is a design and maker duo, creating quality, handcrafted lights, furniture and accessories.
For us it’s about simplicity and intention. We strive to craft bespoke, beautiful pieces that are illuminating, functional and purposeful.
At their core, our designs are inspired by the natural world. Our focus is on embedding circular design solutions and giving materials a second life where we can.
Our practise begins with found materials. Materials often speak for themselves and we love allowing their unique imperfections to breath and be celebrated. Through sketching concepts, journaling and developing prototypes, we explore ideas, connections and form.
Our collections are a reflection of us. From statement pieces to functional accents, every piece tells a unique story of passion, history and craftsmanship. No two makers are the same, no two pieces are the same, no two collections are the same.
