The collection is realized in collaboration with van Caster and is connected to the local spinners and weavers, as well as it is interwoven with yak farmers, who live in very remote areas high up in the Himalayas. LUM is the beginning of a long-term re

About Studio Daniel Costa

There is a fundamental difference between Art and Design, but there also is an area where they overlap and touch each other. And this is where my interest lies. I seek out for creation which relates to mankind in a more abstract, more emotional and therefore in a more time-enduring way. The hand, the hand made and the hand me down-object are core ideas to my undertakings, fibre, matter and the context of craftsmanship are the base. I am a South-Tyrolean interdisciplinary maker based in Paris.
