The product designer discusses today’s social office and his new collections for Studio TK.
As a designer, Khodi Feiz is not stylistically dogmatic, but is instead “guided by totally different impulses,” he says. The cofounder of Feiz Design Studio elabo- rates, “A curve of a lamppost can inspire the shape of a fork in your hand, or the rigorous grid of a building can inspire the structure for a keyboard.” For Feiz, design is a holistic creative process, a way of seeing the world that can be applied to a variety of tasks, scenarios, and project briefs. Over the course of his three-decade-long career, Feiz has used this approach to design everything from personal electronics to furniture. This year, his eight-person firm, known for its intuitive-use furniture and products, introduces two collections created with Artifort and Studio TK, a contract brand that stands out for its exclusive focus on social workspaces.
