PELLE’s furniture and lighting designs urge imaginations to run ‘Far and Wide’
The cabinet, chairs, lamps and paintings conceived by New York-based studio PELLE defy stylistic pigeonholing, to showcase influences from far and wide geographies.
PELLE, a Brooklyn-based independent design studio founded by Jean and Oliver Pelle in 2011, believes in the integration of artistic exploration with architectural adeptness and ingenuity, to produce handcrafted objects, furniture and lighting designs. With a key focus on innovation and technical mastery, the two designers (who are trained as architects) levy attention to manifesting their vision in a functional mien, rather than solely ascribing an analogous aesthetic to their work.
While the couple now resides in New York, USA, Jean hails from South Korea and Oliver was born in Germany. Jean grew up witnessing her father, a professional sculptor, while Oliver was drawn to geometric principles and systemic structures on account of his father, a structural engineer. Having studied architecture, both the designers—with their distinct nascent exposures to different aspects of the building and making processes—imbue the works produced by PELLE with a unique artistic quality and craftsmanship.
