ALTER EGO STUDIO
Natalia Komarova is a distinguished furniture designer and the founder of Alter Ego Studio. With over a decade of experience in the creative industry, Natalia began her career as a photographer and retoucher. However, she soon realized that these roles did not fully allow her to explore her creative potential. This realization led her to pursue a career in design, where she quickly gained recognition, earning 12 prestigious international awards within the first few years. These accolades include the Gold A’Design Award & Competition and the Gold European Product Design Award. Natalia’s design philosophy centers around the idea of creating “living” furniture imbued with the energy of life. Her works are characterized by rhythms, weaves, bends, rotations, curves, and spirals that evoke a sense of movement. She seeks to capture and reflect actions and reactions that inspire vivid emotions, drawing from a broad spectrum of stimuli—from a fleeting glance to the dynamic power of wind or ocean waves. Her focus lies not on static forms but on the essence of motion and transformation.
Matthew Byrd
Matt Byrd (b. 1992, Raleigh, North Carolina) is a stone carver with a background in traditional stonemasonry. His work is the product of a yearning to create and an expression of his love for art and architecture – all while paying homage to and focusing on the concepts taught to him by stonemasonry. Byrd parallels his work to that of puzzles: pieces that can be physically and visually complex, but come into clear view once assembled. That configuration is a process for which he strives, and once completed, it’s on to the next.
Forma Rosa Studio
Forma Rosa Studio is a design studio based in Brooklyn, NYC, co-founded by Maria Teresa Castillo and Santiago Brown. Inspired by technology, art, and natural phenomena. Forma Rosa Studio creates limited-edition functional pieces that seek to bring us closer to our natural roots. Their practice is defined by a cultural clash between the handmade and the digitally designed. a relationship that also defines the studio’s aesthetic and its vision. Returning to handcraft from a place of technology, the naturally complex shapes are digitally grown by the pair in NYC and handcrafted by artisans in Peru. a place where Maria calls home. They push the unexpected clash between these concepts to sculpt new ways for them to create form. tactile sensations. and to find a newfound intimacy with their objects.
