WELCOMEPROJECTS is a practice of discursive sensibilities focused on the production of real things in the world along with all the incumbent, critical fictions needed for their survival. We design projects large (buildings, houses, interiors), medium (installations, films, furniture) and small (handbags, games, wagons) imbuing each with our signature curiosity and playful seriousness. Our work has most recently been exhibited at the Santa Monica Museum of Art, The New York Art Book Fair, and galleries in Los Angeles and New York.
WELCOMEPROJECTS designs WELCOMECOMPANIONS, a project that reinterprets everyday sartorial accessories and objects through a formal and surrealist lens. The project seeks to inject a sense of play, suspense, and narrative into the objects we interact with and depend on on a daily basis. It suggests the novelty that in our accessories, function is not wholly dependent on utilitarian form. Launched in 2012 WELCOMECOMPANIONS has been featured in numerous publications including Paper Magazine, Vogue Italia, Elle Italia, Newsweek, Marie Claire Italia, Lucky Magazine and Nylon Magazine among others. WELCOMECOMPANIONS are sold in boutiques in Los Angeles, New York, Portland, San Francisco, Sydney, and Hong Kong.
