Designers
Designers are the minds shaping the objects we live with. This space brings together the creators behind the pieces in our universe, each one driven by a distinct vision, material sensitivity, and creative language.

Not in an obvious way, but rather more like something that builds over time. Objects by Carrara, photographed by Lera Sanzharovets These are objects you don’t have to think about. A lot of design
