Introduced in 2023, The Designer's Residency draws upon a rich foundation of curation, design education, and collaborative design development to introduce the next generation of Colony designers. Eleven years of Colony and three years of The Residency have culminated in the work which will present at Shelter this May, 17-19.
This exhibition will bring together five Residency alumni—M.Pei Studio, Ember Studio, Thomas Yang Studio, Alara Alkan Studio, and Marmar Studio. Though each studio carries a distinct background and artistic approach, they are bound by a shared commitment to exploration and expression. Their works speak in varied design languages, yet all offer reflections on how we see, shape, and inhabit the world. Shelter unveils their latest creations—objects that carry personal visions, collective memories, and a quiet invitation to imagine new ways of being.
