Each season at Tempo Design Store is curated as a surprise. Our select shop curates from a varied selection of brands, ateliers, and factories - focusing on different types of high-end natural materials each time. We are committed as Switzerland’s first natural lifestyle select shop to provide wearable items, home objects and furniture that are in harmony with ourselves and the environment all around us.

My visit to the @piuceramics stayed with me. I am inspired by things made by human hands, things shaped through time, care, and attention.
I asked them what they love most about their work, what makes it special. They said if they try to rush it, it just doesn’t work. Their process is slow, and it has to be. That answer got me thinking about how this applies to everything in life, especially the pace we’re all used to. Everything moves so fast. But when do we actually slow down? How do we approach what we do?
Not just in our work, but in how we live 🤲🏼✨
Still life for @piuceramics . The sun suddenly came into the studio. I looked at where the light fell. I noticed a shadow forming on the vase. “Beautiful,” I thought, and instinctively took a photo. Sometimes a scene needs a little more time to reveal itself, and a bit more attention not just to see, but to notice.
Recently we visited the local design team over at @pantertourron , good friends of @tempodesignstore , which are celebrating their 10 year anniversary as a multidisciplinary design duo. Photographer @katkalyska captured the moment where Alexis Tourron and Stefano Panterotto gave us a special walk-through of their design process, their unique creative space that houses a wood-shop for prototypes, and their top-secret creations still not yet published.
In these photos by Katya, you can experience the feeling of being immersed in this creativity, the unique atmosphere of Panter&Tourron.
Stay updated for an interview with them on our blog and amazing news yet to come!

I appreciate the beauty that is given to us by nature. In my photoshoots, I create a space where you don’t have to pretend, where you can come as you are, without pressure to be a “better” or “perfect” version of yourself. I gently guide you, support you, and give you space to feel comfortable, to open up, and to move in a way that feels natural to your body. We all have our own nature, and I want you to keep it and value it, not change it.
A photoshoot with me is not just about photos, it’s about meeting yourself, seeing yourself in a new way, and maybe discovering something you haven’t noticed before. If this resonates with you, you’re very welcome to come as you are 🤍

These are the hands of people I met on my way. I didn’t ask them to pose, only for permission to photograph them. For me, it is important to capture the moment as it was. To keep its honesty.
