01 / About the project

the brief

We photographed every object in the workshop and in the homes it was designed for, letting material, proportion and use lead the story. The result gives Kenyan making the space and attention it deserves.

the outcome

A considered piece of work rooted in Kenyan context, material and everyday use.
