topia

Inspired by topiary gardens and the otherworldly environments they create, topia explores the textures and shapes of this natural-unnatural world: lollipop trees, swirling shrubs + undulating hedges.
Derived from the Greek work topia meaning "place," topia provides a nourishing sense of soft comfort and sensory stimulation in our new socially distanced world.

"More so than ever before we will crave profoundly tactile home environments
as deliberate respite from the socially distanced world beyond our doors."

In an increasingly disconnected post-pandemic world, we yearn for touch and connection
