“Founded in 2005 by Architects Zoe Boira Coombes and F. David Boira, Commonwealth is an art and design studio based in New York City. Harnessing a new fluidity enabled by machine languages, Commonwealth’s interests are as material and emotional as they are technical. Deeply influenced by the artistic disciplines that naturally hover at the borders of design, Commonwealth’s works have been showcased in galleries in Europe, America and the Middle East, and their architectural and visual designs have been commissioned by culture-driven clients such as Issey Miyake and Warp Records. Working within the world of contemporary art and industrial furniture design, Commonwealth aims to produce work that embodies a sense of elegant desire through an engagement with both the newest of tools and the oldest of techniques.”
