Jenny D Pham and Phil America of Milan-based studio Objects Are By, are introducing a novel idea to the design process. They’re asking: what if you let an artist, an actor or a chef moonlight as a product designer?
‘If you’re a musician, nobody ever wants to see you make a clothing line,’ says artist Phil America, explaining the concept behind his and partner Jenny D Pham’s new design brand, Objects Are By. ‘But every creative, at some point, wants to break out of their box – to try new things and experiment.’
