Objects that stay.
A considered approach to the things we choose to live with.
By Rowan Ellis · Sample editorial
Some objects earn their place slowly. A lamp that lights the right corner. A chair that feels better at the end of a long day. Their value grows through use, rather than fading after the first impression.
Designing something to stay means thinking beyond the moment of purchase. Can it be repaired? Does the material become more interesting with age? Will it still make sense in a different room?
The most considered objects leave space for our lives. They do a small number of things well, and become part of the background in the best possible way.
