PELLE is a design studio founded by Jean and Oliver Pelle, whose work exists at the intersection of art, craft, and engineering. Guided by a shared reverence for technical mastery and innovation, the studio creates sculptural works that merge the precision of the man-made with the poetry of organic form.
The founders’ distinct backgrounds, Jean the daughter of a sculptor and Oliver the son of a structural engineer, inform a practice rooted equally in intuition and rigor. Drawing from nature, historic art movements, and broader cultural references, as well as geometry and mathematics, PELLE distills these influences into timeless and deliberate forms.
The PELLE studio is based in Brooklyn, New York, occupying a 12,000-square-foot space that unites design, fabrication, and exhibition under one roof. This integrated environment allows ideas to move seamlessly from concept to realization, reinforcing the studio’s hands-on approach and commitment to craftsmanship.
