We participated in Doppia Firma, an annual initiative at Milan Design Week that pairs furniture designers with master artisans to create one-of-a-kind pieces that celebrate the intersection of design thinking and craft expertise. Our collaboration was with Artepura, an Italian atelier specialising in high-end leather craftsmanship, and together we created a piece inspired by the natural and architectural harmony of Villa Mozart in Merano, Italy. Marquetry inlay and leather, two very different craft traditions, were brought into direct dialogue on a single object.

At the Design Doha Biennial 2024, Qatar's platform for global design exchange, we worked with Sirojiddin Rahmatillaev, an Uzbek master craftsman known for his expertise in the tapchan, a traditional low outdoor seating platform central to Central Asian communal life. Together we designed Qosh, a contemporary reinterpretation of the tapchan that drew on his deep knowledge of the form and our approach to proportion and material. It was a genuine collaboration between two distinct craft traditions, shaped together from the ground up rather than one interpreting the other.

The Gandhara Carapace Collection, our ongoing collaboration with Studio Lel, the practice founded by Pakistani-British designer Zara Latif, was unveiled in full at Design Miami through Galerie BSL. The collection brought together tables and seating forms surfaced in semi-precious stone and marble mosaic, with each piece drawing on the rich decorative heritage of Gandharan art, the ancient visual tradition that emerged at the crossroads of Central Asia, South Asia, and the Mediterranean. Design Miami, which takes place annually alongside Art Basel Miami Beach, is one of the world's most important platforms for collectible design.
