When it comes to work, are you a collector, maker or a strategist? ♟️ For our latest project The Architecture of Work, creative director @alexander____may designed six modular officescapes with the USM Haller system.
Each configuration represents a different way of working, thinking, and interacting with space:
1 ➡️ 3: The Collector
4 ➡️ 5: The Strategist
6: The Maker
7: The Observer
8 ➡️ 9: The Editor
10: The Archivist
The officescape “The Collector” will be on view at the IRL-to-URL shopping experience @basic.space NY from November 14-16.

Taste is not only seen, it’s felt. Through material, proportion, light, and objects.
When I set out to design @costabrazil new flagship at Hudson Yards, I wanted the space to feel immersive almost as though you’re stepping into someone’s home. I developed a modular architectural language that runs throughout the interior, creating a sense of continuity and restraint while still feeling warm and inviting.
The visual palette for the project was inspired in part by a Richard Serra work from @costafrancisco personal collection, which is exhibited within the space. Alongside the interior, I also curated a selection of books and objects from his collection to help shape a more personal world around the brand one that feels lived in, layered, and deeply connected to @costabrazil .
Very grateful for the collaboration and excited to watch the space continue to evolve over time.

A new home for Costa Brazil in New York.
Created to be felt with all your senses.
Design by @alexander____may , with founder @costafrancisco the space brings together raw materiality, scent, sound, light, and collected objects into a quiet and tactile environment. Rather than a traditional retail store, the residency is conceived as a lived-in interior, shaped by ritual, atmosphere, and restraint.

Honored to present NOTTE, a daybed I designed this year in collaboration with @nilufargallery
On view as part of Nilufar Grand Hotel during #MDW2026
Curated by @ninayashar
20–26 April, Nilufar Depot
NOTTE, approaches the daybed as a continuous sculptural plane low, elongated, and almost landscape-like in its on presences. Its form feels carved rather than assembled, shaped by shadow and stillness.

As a designer, I’m drawn to materials with a fixed purpose.
Steel deck built for staging, temporary architectural systems, and performance is something I’ve repeatedly recontextualized in my work.
A surface for objects, a platform for resting.
Just over a year back in New York.
My collaboration from this time in 2025 with @nordicknots at their New York flagship.
