The key to Michael Yarinsky and Kelley Perumbeti's interdisciplinary studio, Office of Tangible Space, lies in understanding the reciprocal relationship that binds their interiors and product-focused projects together. As their chosen name suggests, the Brooklyn and San Francisco-based duo brings spaces to life through objects that celebrate the humanity of those who use them.
