Dominic Plueer & Olivier Smitt

Dominic Plueer and Olivier Smitt are Swiss-born designers who question the assumptions and perceptions surrounding everyday objects. They aim to spark the user's imagination by dismantling preconceived notions and rituals associated with conventional products. By emphasizing a product's material presence and allowing unfamiliar forms to transcend their typical functions, their small-scale furniture and objects demonstrate that ordinary items can take on new identities as autonomous entities. The interplay between the familiar and the strange, coupled with the user's imagination, invites a fresh experience of the product, enabling open interpretation of these observations.
