APPARATUS is a New York-based interdisciplinary design studio that explores the relationship between lighting, furniture, and objects. The studio creates fully articulated collections that reveal individual pieces as artifacts of a holistic world. Founded in 2012, APPARATUS is led by Artistic Director Gabriel Hendifar and operates galleries in New York and Los Angeles. The studio creates each piece with a devotion to small studio craftsmanship, centering on the importance of the human hand in lending soul to an object. Materials such as marble, suede, horsehair, and porcelain are combined with hand-patinated brass to create a distinctive catalog.
