RESEARCH SET-UP

With two decades of global creative leadership in product design and styling narratives, the studio prepares archive research to be intuitive and immediate.

Prior to a visit, visitors are welcome to share a simple starting point; an image, a few words, a loose idea, a situation, or just the season. 

Well curated pre-selections are ready upon arrival, while the broader collection remains fully accessible, organized on categorical rails for open exploration as ideas take shape.

Whether the direction leans subcultural, minimal, textured, opulent, sporty, tailored, military, folk, day, or evening, references can be quickly brought into focus without limiting discovery.

SPACE

The archival studio is set on the parlor floor of a historic 1800s brownstone in Clinton Hill, Brooklyn. Filled with natural light and opening onto a quiet garden, it provides a calm environment where visitors can explore the archive and shape creative ideas.
