KURIO & CO.
A studio for objects that refuse to be forgotten.
Not every material that is discarded has lost its meaning.
Currency, once it circulates and is retired, carries a history that most people discard without a second look. A worn note has traveled further and meant more than almost any object people choose to keep. Kurio & Co. began with the decision to notice what others overlook, and to give it a permanent form rather than let it disappear.
Material comes before manufacture.
An archive is never finished.
The studio is larger than any single hand that shapes it.
Mystery is not a marketing tactic. It is a form of respect.
Someone has to notice first.
