You will draw by hand
Not exclusively, and not for delivery. But the studio still believes that a thing understood in pencil is understood differently, and every designer here keeps a sketchbook.

IThe practice
What the workasks of you.
We are not a large practice and we do not intend to become one. That has consequences in both directions: your work is visible and attributed, and there is nowhere to hide when a detail is wrong.
You will visit workshops
Everyone travels. Stone in Carrara, plaster in Marrakesh, brass in Jaipur. You cannot specify a material honestly until you have watched someone struggle with it.
You will be told the truth
Reviews are direct and reasoning is always given. Nobody here learns that their work was disliked by watching it quietly disappear from a presentation.
You will not work weekends
Deadlines occasionally break this and we are not sanctimonious about it. But a studio that routinely consumes its people produces tired, derivative work, and we would rather not.
IIOpen positions
No seats openright now.
Every seat in the studio is filled at the moment. We keep this page honest — when nothing is listed here, there is genuinely nothing open.
That said, we hire on people more than on vacancies. If the work resonates with you, introduce yourself — a thoughtful letter has more than once turned into a role we had not yet imagined.
Stay close
New positions are posted here first and shared with our journal subscribers. We open one or two seats a year, and rarely advertise them elsewhere.
IIISpeculative
Write anyway.
Three of our current team wrote to us when nothing was advertised. If the studio interests you and none of the listed positions fit, send a short letter explaining what you would want to work on and a portfolio of no more than fifteen pages.
We read everything, though we are slow. Expect a reply within a month, and a real one rather than a template.
