“How can we infuse ourselves in these objects?”

Ask the creatives behind Parallel Studio
and from nothingness in a collaboration to tell stories through meaningful objects.

This work finds their practices at convergence—a deliberate act that materializes their inner
musings, transforming daydreams into tangible realities.

Reflected in this design process is the act of self-study. Stairways and pathways have long held a spiritual fascination over the creatives, who are drawn to this architectural symbol as a magnetizing point in design. Wired to listen to their own visions, they have explored this captivation of theirs and given it shape.

Though it is light you may find at the end, the process is often dark and iterative until all at once it takes form. But it compels them, and they trust in it as it transforms, and as they find themselves, too, transformed.

Surrendering to setbacks that are inherent to the creative process, they work with greater care, attuned to a heightened reality in which clarity emerges.

Then, after another step, appears light.
