OFFICE OF USE™










“Use” is the meeting point between people and objects. It’s not just about what something does, but how it invites interaction—the gestures, choices, and experiences that unfold around it. A well-designed object doesn’t only fulfill a function, it also reflects culture and context. The ways people adopt, adapt, or even repurpose objects tell stories about values, habits, and community.
