ESSAI STUDIO is a creative space rooted in the French word essai—meaning “attempt.”

It embodies a spirit of experimentation, reflection, and craft. We’re drawn to the work-in-progress: the drafts, the case studies, the lists, the quiet steps that guide an idea into form. Our curiosity lies in the path itself—how imagination wanders in unexpected, organic ways.

We’re equally inspired by the quotidian and the domestic—the timeless elegance of well-designed objects and the tools that support everyday living.

At the heart of our practice is an attention to form and function.
Is an object beautiful without being ostentatious?
Does it serve its purpose with simple, efficient, and elegant design?
Does it carry a memory of time, place, or craft?
