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.

Rwanda
The Muri collection represents a collaboration between contemporary sensibility and artisanal Rwandan craft. Developed in three sizes, the forms can be used with tea lights in indoor or outdoor dining settings or, as wired lamps for residential and commercial hospitality use. In order to create the delicate palm woven shade, an innovative approach was used where by the original bamboo structural rings were substituted for steel wire. This allowed for smaller knots to be woven with the palm strands and therefore create a more refined look.
