The art world provides significant inspiration for the objects, which is expressed in the selection of modern colors, while the objects are timeless, able to remain in a space in which they are hung for an extended period of time and become part of a home’s character.
Reish studio collaborates with designers from various concentrations and agendas, encouraging constant development and promoting curiosity that create refreshing objects.
Children’s games and nostalgic images from the world of literature and art contribute significantly to our inspiration and offer a new way to look at familiar, everyday objects.
“The year at Domus Academy was deeply meaningful to me, both professionally and personally. It was a year in which I could fully apply and realize the toolkit I had built during my undergraduate studies. Domus Academy’s philosophy, the faculty, the diverse range of courses, the hands-on work with industry, and above all the incredible mix of students from around the world – all these elements created a rich and fertile ground for exposure, growth, and collaboration. Milan itself, with its layered history and cultural depth, is an endlessly captivating city for anyone who comes to study and live there. I make a point of visiting once a year, and I continue to cherish the connections we built that year to this day.”
