The OTHR_space
The OTHR_space is our space for Making. Where our thoughts meet material, where the process becomes tangible and unable to ignore. It is a space to collect & create, curate & converse. To live amongst, to arrange & rearrange.
It is a champion of material, substance, and process. It is where drawings, models, mockups, publications, & exhibitions can blend and become something, something different, something OTHR.
OTHR_Space
Process & Becoming
OTHR_Space is our workshop for making and gallery for exhibiting. It is a physical manifestation of a belief: that process should not be hidden behind closed doors. That the thinking, the material exploration, the hands and the mistakes and the refinements should be visible, accessible, and part of the conversation.
Most design happens invisibly. Sketches live in notebooks. Models sit in studios. Fabrication happens in remote shops. The client sees the finished object and imagines it arrived fully formed. But that narrative erases the work. It erases the intelligence embedded in every decision, every material choice, every iteration.
The OTHR_Space is a deliberate rejection of that erasure. It is a space to collect and create, to curate and converse, to live amongst objects and rearrange them, to play. It is a champion of material, substance, and process. Within it, drawings, models, mock-ups, publications, and exhibitions blend and become something different, something other. A sketch on the wall. A half-finished prototype on the bench. A finished piece in the gallery. A process book open on a table. They all occupy the same room, at the same time, speaking to one another.
This proximity matters. When you walk through, you are not experiencing a curated distance between thinking and making. You are experiencing simultaneity. You see how an idea moves from two-dimensional mark to three-dimensional form. You understand that a finished piece is not an endpoint but a moment in a longer conversation. You recognize the hands that made it. You feel the intelligence in the material.
The space functions as both studio and gallery because the distinction between those two modes is artificial. Making is exhibition. The process is the product. Visitors are not passive consumers of finished goods. They are a witness to thinking-in-action. They are invited into the studio culture itself.
This is also where the Salons happen, where makers, thinkers, fabricators, artists, and writers gather to talk about craft, material, process, and the ideas that animate the work. The conversation moves outward from the making. Or rather, the conversation is part of the making. The OTHR_Space holds all of it at once: the solitary work of fabrication, the collaborative intensity of problem-solving, and the collective intelligence of people thinking together about what it means to make something that matters.
We believe that proximity to process changes how you understand and inhabit an object. It transforms the piece from a commodity into a story. It reveals the care embedded in precision. It makes visible the intelligence of hands. And it creates a kind of generosity, the maker's willingness to show their thinking, their mistakes, their refinement that deepens the relationship between the object and the person who lives with it.
The OTHR_Space is where that generosity lives. It is an open studio. It is a gallery. It is a classroom. It is a living argument for why process matters and why it should never be hidden.
