México está redefiniendo la experimentación con materiales y consolidando su presencia en la escena global del diseño. Más allá de la artesanía tradicional, el nuevo diseño mexicano explora lenguajes brutalistas, minerales y tecnológicos 🌱.
En ese contexto, .studio —con base en Ciudad de México— se posiciona como un referente. Su práctica parte de una idea esencial: el mineral es materia y musa. Desde ahí desarrollan mobiliario y objetos decorativos que no se imponen sobre la piedra, sino que dialogan con ella 🪨.
Presentada en Design Miami 2025, la colección Lithic Bloom traduce lo orgánico en lo geológico: piezas que evocan pétalos convertidos en geometría mineral. El resultado es un diseño que entiende la naturaleza no como fragilidad, sino como permanencia escultórica.

The Making of The Wedding
Part 1
The idea of The Wedding was born from the abandoned chapel itself. The space suggested a ceremony, a staging of objects coming together to create an atmosphere rather than a conventional display.
For the first time, the architecture defined the narrative, guiding the way we approached the project. What began as a collection evolved into something more personal, a shared reflection within the studio. Many of us could immediately relate to the theme, especially as two members of the team had recently been married, making the conversations intuitive, emotional, and fluid.
Gradually, the process shifted. We were no longer just designing objects, but emotions and experiences, incorporating elements such as music and scent to fully immerse visitors in the celebration.
A wedding is a powerful and universal moment, one many people dream of. Our intention was to create a space where, upon entering, visitors are met with a sense of joy, love, and presence.
Aurella and Vireon share a love for design.
They first met last year at .milano, at Villa Bagatti, crossing paths at the entrance of ’s Cosmic Resonance. Drawn by their shared fascination for stone, they began exchanging thoughts, an instant connection that felt both natural and inevitable.
A few days later, Vireon invited her to a candlelit harp concert by . That night, she fell in love with him, and with the music that now echoes through their story.
Nine months later, they were engaged.
For their wedding, they envisioned something intimate yet deeply expressive, unconventional, layered with meaning, and reflective of their personalities. They found it in an abandoned chapel within the Ospedale Militare Baggio in Milan, the city where their story began.
Aurella dreamed of flowers by , whose sculptural compositions blur the line between nature and art. Vireon made sure that dream became reality, even inviting to perform once again.
Together, they collaborated with .design to create a custom carpet woven in copper and stainless steel, casting a subtle shimmer as guests walk through the space.
Seeking to complete the atmosphere, they turned to , selecting the fragrance Halfeti and their stone diffusers to hold the memory of the day in a scent.
Everything was ready.
They arrived, exchanged their vows…
and chose to engrave them in stone.

Light enters the chapel softly, tracing time across its worn surfaces. In this quiet setting, The Wedding unfolds as a suspended moment, where objects gather not only as witnesses, but as keepers of a shared presence.
Lucerna candleholders frame the scene, their gentle glow echoing the intimacy of ritual. At the center, Orlena and Virena hold a moment of balance, where mineral forms meet a living composition, dissolving the boundary between the fixed and the fleeting.
Through his floral intervention, Hamish Powell reflects on the central paradox of the ceremony: a wedding exists as a fleeting moment, yet carries a meaning intended to last a lifetime. Preserved Italian dandelion introduces a sense of lightness and transience, while amaranthus, rooted in Mexican tradition, anchors the composition with a quiet permanence, bringing together place and identity in a single gesture.
Inspired by Milan’s Piazza Castello fountains, the arrangement draws on the force of water shaping stone, and the stillness of a gesture suspended in time, where Italian setting and Mexican influence meet in a shared language of ritual.
A subtle soundscape by harpist Michela La Fauci moves through the space, extending the experience beyond the visible. Together, light, sound, and matter shape a space that feels both grounded and ephemeral, where each element lingers, even as it passes.

The WeddingSome unions are written in stone.In an abandoned chapel, where vows were once spoken and the air still holds their echoes, Sten Studio summons a new ceremony. The Wedding is a sculptural installation that stages a symbolic union between complementary forces: feminine and masculine, softness and structure, intuition and form. Within the chapel, stone becomes the language of a ritual, and objects gather like silent witnesses around a moment of encounter, transforming the space into a celebration carved in matter. What is usually fleeting, flowers, light,ceremony, is translated into stone, replacing the ephemeral with the enduring.
The installation invites visitors to step into a scene that feels both intimate and universal: a moment of union,balance, and shared presence.
More than a collection, The Wedding is a meditation on permanence, on how love, like stone, is formed under pressure and shaped over time; in this ceremony, matter becomes emotion, and the chapel becomes a stage where design, ritual, and narrative meet.

From the very first glance, Vireon carries the presence of a true gentleman.
There is a quiet strength in him, attentive, composed, and deeply devoted.
His style is timeless, yet never predictable. He favors subtle gestures that set him apart, like a brooch, an element he believes every tuxedo should carry. For his wedding, he chose a family relic: a pyrite stone gifted by his grandfather, a way to keep him present on this day.
Vireon moves with confidence, grounded yet soft, creating a sense of ease wherever he stands.
He is ready.
He is waiting.
To see his bride.

Aurella is joy, light, and presence.
She carries an effortless sense of style, her aura stands out, glowing with a quiet confidence.
For her wedding, she chose to step away from the expected. Instead of a conventional dress, she envisioned an organic headpiece, a sculptural form reflecting the uniqueness of her spirit. She honors tradition with a blue calcite necklace, a gift from her mother, carrying with it a sense of continuity and memory.
Triangular forms crown her silhouette, expressing strength and certainty. Her first skirt draws inspiration from Japanese plissé techniques, structured yet fluid, while the lower layers soften into gentle curves, revealing her more delicate side.
She wanted to glow on her wedding day, not from ornament, but from within.
